    Game crashes when adjusting graphics settings

    Hello,
    I have 2 related issues.
    First,
    In both Waw and COD2, if I try to adust any graphics settings that require me to hit the APPLY button (AA, etc) my game immediately crashes to my desktop and I cannot bring it back up.

    Additionally, when our Open Warfare mod was recently installed on one of our servers, I get the same problem when I try to join the server with the mod on it....just crashes to my destkop. It was find before the mod.

    I have a new machine with XP, 2G ram and a 9800GT with the newest driver.

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem. I had it set up and I went to drop the AA to 0 to see what it would do and it crashed every time. It also crashes when I try to change the resolution.

        XP Pro
        E7300 @ 2.66
        2G ram
        9800GT

        I can run the mod in windowed mode. It will crash like normal and then pop right back up but then I cant change the brightness in windowed mode because it is then too dark while windowed.

        It's the strangest thing

          Have you tried different graphics drivers? If you're using the latest, try an older set.

            I haven't had a chance to look into it but here are my specs.

            Vista Home Premium 64

            Intel Centrino 2
            Intel Core 2 Duo P8400
            NVIDIA GeForce 9800m GTS W 512 MB
            4 GB DDR3

            I think I have some drivers from a month ago I'll look into new ones when I can.

              Update.

              I updated my video drivers to the latest one form teh Nvida site. Gateway aparently doesn't upgrade their site so I was under the impression that they were current. In me searching I also found that people were having this issue with their Xfi cards.

                Really?! I'm running my X-Fi still but i don't seem to have this problem. However, i do seem to blue screen sometimes when leaving the game.

                    I wonder how long between the first and next patch.

                      I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
