My GTL won't work!!

[funkyrobot]

Installed it today, when I try to load it the screen goes blue and I get the error message 'Bad Pool Header'.

Its intermittent as I loaded it again and it worked, had a quick razz in a Mini, then closed it and tried to load it again a bit later and it crashed my comp again!!

Anyone else had this problem?

I changed the shader configuration from auto to direct x 9, no joy, then direct x 8 and got intermittent joy!!

Bloody stupid game, GTR never caused me any probs.

Anyway I have lots of work to do for my MA so maybe its a good omen really.

Check the link above out. Plus what graphics card do you have and how much RAM does it have, check your directx install too. Start/Run/dxdiag to check for problems (do you have the latest DX?)

My guess is you've installed XP Service Pack 2 and it's screwed something up and you need to reinstall the latest driver for something.

I had a similar problem. Had to download an update for the starforce protection system; there's a link on the GTL website: "starforce fix".

Thanks guys.

FWD its only a prob with GTL, everything else on my comp seems to work fine. I'm running a NVIDIA Geforce 6800 LE, 128mb.

I shall download and install the Starforce drivers as mentioned by .flyer and see how that goes later.

Will update you all if i'm successful later.

Cheers all.

Think .flyer has got the solution

Good Luck, Hopefully see you online later!

^^^^^

What he said - I had the exact same problem.

Commentary about a "copy protection" system which causes a total operating system crash is optional.
