Post Posted: 02-05-2006 04:48 AM Post subject: BC crashes when loading mission

I have an HP zd8000 series laptop with the following specs:

Windows XP Home edition OS
Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz processor
512mb RAM
80gb hard drive
256mb ATI PCI Express graphics card
17 inch monitor with 16x9 aspect resolution

I newly installed Bridge Commander version 1.1 on this laptop, and while the main screen loads just fine, the game crashes to desktop everytime I load a mission, whether it is quickbattle, a campaign mission, or multiplayer.

This happens regardless of whether or not I install mods.

I've tried googling for this problem, and the only thing I found was some guy who claimed that disabling multimonitor support helped him fix a similar problem. However, HP tech support says that multimonitor support is disabled as long as I have not plugged in a 2nd monitor (which I have not). This leaves me back in square one.

Is there anyone out there who has had a similar problem? I would really love to hear from you.

thanks in advance,

shadow

Funny you should mention this. I installed Bridge Commander on my PC and have had nothing but trouble. I get a BAD_POOL_CALLER error and another error that refers to the ATI driver ati2dvaa.dll. I have the following:

AMD Athlon 1000mhz
Windows XP Professional
512MB RAM
ATI XPERT 2000 (PCI)

This has been a very frustrating problem and I have tried upgrading and downgrading the ATI driver to no avail and I have not been able to find a solution as of yet!

Have you tried ,,, createing a Shortcut of stbc.exe ,,, then going into the shortcuts properties and at the end of "C:\*****
\Bridge Commander\stbc.exe"


typeing -TestMode
and use the shortcut NOT the CD startup (What starts when you put the CD in ,,, to exit it just push esc key or Exit

If you mean that you can't load a save game anymore, then it's mostlikly that you installed a mod after you saved that game.

If you have NanoFX installed, then save games won't work at all.

Best bet, go to Missions and then pick the mission you were at.
