a bit more...: accidently i hit "cancel" instead of "ok" at the error message, and my c++ debugger started there, c++ tells me: "Unhandled exception in OpFlashPreferences.exe (GLIDE3X.DLL): 0xC0000096: Privileged Instruction." ok, at the "error"-line (in the debugger; line "01217BA2") stands: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">01217BA2   out         dx,eax hm, ok, seems like it has something to do with sound!? i dont know it really... but two lines below the "error"-line, it says: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">01217BA8   in         eax,dx perhaps the "order" in the error-line is wrong? in the error line there is "dx,eax", in the working-line there is "eax,dx"... hm... so far so good, i searched for a "glide3x.dll" and i found one at c:\winnt\system32 (dont panic, i have win2k, not winnt ;))... what a surprise... (perhaps its nonsense what i post here, but perhaps someone can handle this and it leads to a solution, who knows...) another idea: can anyone send me his/her Flashpoint.cfg (by mail)? Perhaps its a bad idea, but perhaps it will work then, because when i created an (of course empty) Flashpoint.cfg, OFP only says that there is not entry in this .cfg, but the error message from the preferences doesnt show up anymore... -------------------- EDIT okok, one step further! i searched with google for Flashpoint.cfg - and i found a .cfg file copypasted it into my empty Flashpoint.cfg - and... *drdrdrdr* it works... half... normal OFP works (OperationFlashpoint.exe), but Resistance doenst work... the preferences still dont work...!

I searched your FAQ for "via", theavonlady, and i found a few things... at first: hm, well ok... i went into my bios and searched... the only thing i found was: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">DRAM Clock (MHz) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 166-DDR333 and it was disabled, so i cant change it! this via 4in1-drivers are installed already... i also did a virus scan (with newest updates of my virus scanner)... and, what else, still the same my important hardware things (perhaps it will help): CPU: amd athlon xp 2800+ (running on ~2.1GHz) RAM: 1024 mb ddr Graphics Card: geforce fx 5600 xt (with newest forceware)

I copied the FlashpointPreferences from the CD to my OFP folder, it's still the same, even if I try to start the FlashpointPreferences.exe from the cd! Yes, my motherboard contains a VIA-Chipset and i downloaded the newest drivers just an hour ago And yes, i check my hard disk for errors (scandisk). [edit]i will search now for my OFP:CWC cd and try to copy the preferences exe from that cd, perhaps it will work... [/edit]

@ theavonlady ok, thanks @ Shadow just did what you said, it's still the same... i have the newest forceware and the newest motherboard drivers... i don't understand it...

Hi, i searched this forum but i didnt find any thread which helped me. So, here's my problem: I installed the OFP:GOTY-Edition and patched it (with the 1.91 from the cd and with the 1.96 from the net ), when i wanna start the game, it only says that there is an error in OpFlashPreferences.exe/FlashpointPreferences.exe in 0x00096andsoon. I even deinstalled/reinstalled the game and tried it without a patch - the same. There's another conspicuous thing: i don't have any *.cfg files... and i remember i had some, when i played OFP:CWC Greetings, Sh00tingStar
