Meaningless

S77th-goya: I tried to load different missions, none worked. emenance: You are right I had used SATA drive, that was before I reinstalled the XP. The new XP is installed on a IDE. When I bought this computer last year, I tested memory and it is fine and stable, now the same. I didn't overclock the computer. I will check other suggestions. zaelu: I have a X45 and it is plugged in the USB port. force_feedback: My computer is quite stable. currently I see nothing wrong with it. yamangman: I have tried this before, I will try it again. Thanks for all of your suggestions. I will try all of your suggestions and see if I have a solution.

Hello, I bought the game online, but the program crashes at the end of loading missions. Here is more details 1. I have original LOMAC CD which I have never had any problem with it, including adding multiple addon's. 2. I downloaded the FC1.1 (295,915,115 bytes) and 1.12a patch (57,564,780 bytes) online. 3. I reinstalled the windows XP pro since FC1.12a doesn't work previously, I want to make sure it is not the os problem. I start with a new installation, and applied all security patches and updates, i.e. I have XP sp2. 4. I installed LOMAC 1.0 at default folder. I didn't install ubi online game software. I didn't install DirectX since my XP is up-to-date. 5. I installed FC 1.10. Sometime I install season package and FC 1.12a in addition, it didn't change the result. 6. I used the previously saved registry file to activate FC. 7. The program launched successfully and menu options shown up, and the music of pilot chatting was played. 8. I load a instant mission at the righ side of the menu, say, the Su-33 mission. I was shown a fighter (Su-33) image with a launch bar at bottom. When the launch bar arrived to the end.The screen blacks, and then returned to windows with a pop-up window saying WinXP wanted me send the following "error signature" to microsoft: AppName: lockon.exe AppVer: 1.1.2.0 ModName: d3d8.dll ModVer: 5.3.2600.2180 Offset: 0001027c If I applied movie pack, season pack and 1.12a to lockon FC, then the "error signature" became: AppName: lockon.exe AppVer: 1.1.0.0 ModName: protect.dll ModVer: 3.4.74.8 Offset: 00074fae It is the usual windows error message you encounter at any program crash. 11. I have shut down everyone background applications (antiviruses, firewalls, ICQ and ect.). I have set all graphics settings in lockon options to LOW. I tried multiple versions (52.16, 71.84, 76.45,77.72,84.21) of nvidia driver. I have cleaned up previous nvidia driver before install new driver. None of these worked. 12. I was able to play lock on: modern air combat and FC demo flawlessly. 13. My hardware and software: OS: winXP professional sp2 CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Memory: 1GB DDR400 RAM Graphic Card: PNY GeForce 6600GT 128MB Game control: Saitek X45 Antivirus: Avast 4.7 home edition Internet: 3Mbps download 14. I have worked with FC tech support team and didn't solve the problem. Could anybody give some advice? Thanks
