Long story - its a legit copy, and I cant get xp to install - bf2 is working perfectly apart from this!
Has anyone managed to get and X-Fi card working on Vista in Battlefield 2? Im a bit stumped!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Ok - I tried the followingFriluftshund wrote:
Vista Beta
OC'ed CPU
beta drivers
This poor, poor game doesn't take well to anything other than "mainstream" as far as I have concluded..
About the X-Fi card. do remember to set it to Game Mode before launching BF2..
Why on earth can't you install XP?
Installing Beta drivers + nothing else --> message in bf2 saying "your hardware is not supported for xfi blah"
...
Installing the creative cd (assumes it installs xp drivers) --> select the x-fi in bf2 but the game hangs the second I click apply - can still move mouse but music stops and background vid stops
then I installed the beta drivers again - same prob as before
In better news the square has vanished!
Game mode... well there wasnt an app installed with the beta drivers so Ill see what I can find for that/Friluftshund wrote:

Thanks for the advice +1!
Xp wont install - not really sure why just get to a point where it says "Setup is waiting to start windows" or something like that and freezes! - same regardless of Sata or Pata drive! strange!
Vista is quite nice though - growing to like it!
...Just tested it on lowest settings - same again, screen shot below - interestingly things do overlay the screwed up part!
Hi
I have just built a new pc and am now having a few problems!
Firstly I can not install windows xp, xp sp1, or 2003 - so I have had to install Vista Beta 1 - very strange!
Anyway, everything is working nicely (and oc'd my processor by 1ghz!!)
I have installed the latest beta drivers for the X-FI card, and the latest ati drivers (I have a new x1900xtx)
so... two problems
Firstly BF2 does not recognize the X-FI card - it says my hardware does not support this configuration - I can live with this though
Secondly my screen has a square in the top right hand corner that fades from black to white then back again quite quickly - seen screen shot for example. I do have my video settings up to highest - so i will try knocking them back but I would rather have them on highest!!! [FIXED!!!]
Any clues as to how to fix either of the problems would be greatly appreciated!

lol - it is... thankfully Maplins have the cable... now if only I can get windows installed on my raptor drive:)
the 4 pin atx doesnt reach the motherboard!!! dammit! so currently my psu resides at the top of the case - anyone know where I can get a cable extender from in the uk?!
Thanks

My mate plays WOW, and I never see the fooker any more... this could get too adictive!
Wow, I sence a flame a-commin... Good luck im_in_heaven!
Oh... and another noob question - ddr2 pc2-6400 vs pc2-3200... What is the differance, is it worth the extra cash? and any recommendations on Ram.. - I have dumped the cheap stuff, looking at Ballistix now.
Any clues where I can buy the tuniq tower 120 in the UK?? I cant find it anywhere... what CPU cooling should I get if I cant get that? - Watercooling is not an option (yes Im a wimp!)
I just didnt know why I would pay twice as much for the same amount of ram when I didnt know what benifits Id get... Ill read into it now I think!FirePhoenix wrote:
the p-d is probabaly one of the best value for money cpu's out there now, id probabaly go for a stronger psu maybe 520+ and whats with skimping on the ram? dont get value select for overclocking.
From what I have read the Intel D 805 is equivalent to most of the better AMD's - but only costs £90! Im sure I will be correct asap tho!Kobrakai wrote:
I would definitely consider a different processor if I was you, its a hell of a waste putting a Celeron with decent hardware like that.
You should be able to play all on high, but the CPU will be a bottleneck.
I like my films;) I deff need that much spacecyborg_ninja-117 wrote:
wow wow wow, dont get 3*500gb hdd's, u wont be needing that much space unless u work for pixar. 250*3 is good enough.
Ill take a look - but Ill be honest, I doubt ill be buying a pc for another 5 years! by which time any mobo I but will be worthless!cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:
dont get that mobo since it wont support conroe = waste of cash, get this one http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1 … 442,00.asp
Will deffinatly look into this!cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:
dont use artic cooling... use zalman vf900cu, its a hell lot better than the accelero X2. tuniq tower 120 for cpu cooling, best after market cpu cooler out there, 50 bucks.
I didnt mean to say celeron either - oops! Looking forward to over clocking it though!
Out of interest why does the Ram hold the system back? I have never really understood how that effects over clocking?
Cheers
Just buying the following:-
Intel Celeron D 805 (will oc to 3.8ish) + Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
2Gb Ram (Scans Corsair Value Select - DDR2)
3*500 Gig Hd (1tb raid 5)
Creative X-FI card
512MB ASUS Radeon X1900 XTX + Arctic Cooling Accelero X2
P180 Antec Case
Asus P5WD2-E Premium Motherboard
p460fg 460W Akasa Ultra PSU
So two questions, is 460W gonna be enough either a generic DVD writer + reader + normal gubbens, and secondly am I going to be able to have every setting on Max in BF2 now!!!

I love Dalin - but I am a chopper whore:)
Yip, Tv missiles are by far the most fun wepon in the game. Someone from a clan I used to play with taught me how to do it... I have never looked back!
It has happened to me before - if you run out of fuel just before the target your missile blows up and you get splash damage as said above.
It sucks - not as much as when your missile passes through a heli (or even worse a plane!) without blowing. Gutting.
