Hi 14th Boscoh, well, I'm not overclocked, my FSB is set to 100. My SB Live! card is in PCI slot 4, my Ethernetcard in slot 5 (Geforce is AGP), no other cards installed (slots 1, 2, 3 and 6 are empty)........ .......BUT, I just found out that my Geforce card, my SB card, my Ethernetcard, the USB-Controllers and my RAID-Controller all share the same IRQ - IRQ 11 that is. I suspect (well, I remember that I read it somewhere) that Windows 2000 assigns them?? Could that be the problem? If so, how do I manually assign IRQ's, and how do I know what IRQ should go with what Hardware?? Well, I guess I'll try disabling UDMA in the BIOS now, and see if that'll help. Thnx. Avonlady, well, I flashed the BIOS, I installed latest 4 in 1 drivers, and since reinstalling WIN 2K I never had burner software installed, so nothing there. The only thing I didn't do was to update the ASPI-layer, since there's none installed on my system (I d/l that ASPIcheck-tool, and it didn't find any)??

Well, this is the error message I get when I try to install patch 1.20: Verifying Operation Flashpoint, version 1.00... Operation Flashpoint: Updating version 1.00 to version 1.20... Some error occurred during patch installation. Patch file is probably dammaged. You may need to download it again. Error in file CAMPAIGNS\1985.pbo, phase 1. And this is the textfile from the 1.20 patch directory: File C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\CAMPAIGNS\1985.PBO.tmp: bad checksum: 175443255 (expected=175443839)

Well, yes, as far as I could find its traces in the registry. The eerie part is that OFP did run perfectly well in the past, with WinOnCD installed. Maybe I'll reinstall WinOnCD, and try to find what it does change in the registry, then try to delete all those entries?? Or do I really have to completely format my harddisk and do a fresh install of Windows? Oh nooooooo Or could it be the CD itself??? As far as I can see there are some (rather tiny) scratches on it (but not really obvious ones; the CD doesn't look worse than any of my other ones)...

Hi all, after trying everything mentioned in the various FAQ's, I still can't patch my (original) European Version (1.00). My system specs are: AMD T-Bird 1GHz Abit KT7 Raid (Via 133 Chipset) Board (latest 4in1 drivers; 4.37) 786 MB RAM Geforce 2 Ti 64MB DDR (Det 23.11 Drivers) SB Live 30 GB Harddisk 4 GB Harddisk Win2K Pro (SP2) CDRom CR RW The "funny" thing is: I already had OFP installed and patched up to 1.27 beta - twice, both under Win 98 SE and Win2k. When I got my Geforce card, I reinstalled OFP, but since then I can't apply any patches anymore. I uninstalled OFP, searched the Registry for any traces left, deleted the content of the WINDOWS\Temp folder, and rebooted. After a clean OFP install I reboot my system again, check the installation with CheckOFP_1_20, and get error messages, normally with DTA or DTA3D.pbo errors. I manually copy those files from the CD into the folders, check with CheckOFP, and ususally, after several tries, it finally says "no errors found". *BUT* when I start the patching process (with 1.20), after a while I get an error message saying something about a checksum error, usually caused by 1985.pbo, or DTA.pbo (Phase 1). Since it didn't happen before (I bought OFP when it came out here in Europe, and had no problems with it except for the last two months or so), and the only hardware changes I made during all that time was additional memory (512 MB), and this Geforce card. Other games (like Ghost recon, Falcon4) run pretty smooth, and I had no trouble installing those. The burning software I was using, Win On CD, was installed before I bought OFP, and when I reinstalled OFP due to my upgrade from Win 98 to 2K, reinstalled it again, without it affecting OFP. Same with the 4 in 1 drivers. Before all that hassle with OFP started, I wasn't even aware that my Mainboard was such a piece of crap and needed a BIOS upgrade and/or latest VIA drivers. I was running the default BIOS and the drivers that came with the installation CD. Can anybody here help me please, 'cause I have no clue what else to do short of throwing this damn PC out of the window???
