ThetaOrionis01 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Did you have any other programs running at the same time - for instance WinAmp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGilbert Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 acually, I should have mentioned that before, no nothing at all! just morrowind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 What operating system are you using? When did you last update your sound and video drivers, and which drivers are you using? Morrowind will definitely run on a TNT2 - though you won't get the pixel-shaded water effects - but you may have to update your drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pekka91 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Your videocard m,ust be atleast some kind of Geforce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Try updating your drivers first of all - if you're lucky that may be all that's required. If that doesn't work.... there could be a problem with the onboard sound. *shrugs*I don't know much about the different sound configurations, so I'm afraid someone else will have to help you with that. pekka91 - I used to run Morrowind on a TNT2 card .... TNT2 cards are supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGilbert Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 okay, I`ll try that, thanks is the TNT2 videocard okay for morrowind, like does everything look okay? I`m used to Morrowind Xbox so it might not look the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 The TNT2 doesn't support pixelshading, so you won't get the nice water effects - and the game may run more slowly than you're used to... but it will run. Hope you can get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
