HELP!
I have been playing CTP2 for a week now, and at yr 2099. I am now having trouble loading my saved game(s). I can start the game and go to my saved files, then select one and push LOAD, the load bar comes up and gets to load the mini map and icon bar (bottom right), the load bar gets to about 97% then it crashes to the desktop when it is about to show the actual map on the screen. The error that comes up is as follows :
<< CTP2 HAS CAUSED AN INVALID PAGE FAULT IN MODULE MSVCRT.DLL >>
with a memory and stack dump with it. This is apparently a "Display" error.
I sometimes get the next error straight aftre the above
<< DDHELP HAS CAUSED AN INVALID PAGE FAULT IN MODULE KERNEL32.DLL >>
This error is apparently a DirectX error.
I have an Athlon 700Mhz with 256RAM GeForce 6800 and SoundBlaster Live Value!
I have reinstalled and updated (with verious veriations) My sound,graphics cards, DirectX 8.0/8.0a, have tried windows updates, have tried MS Library updates, all with no success.
HELP HELP HELP, what can I try next?
Any help would be much appreciated

I've had some problems with Dx8 in some other games. Maybe you should try an older version of Dx. The problem is that you'll have to reinstall your system to get rid of Dx8 (way to go Microsoft)...Or you could try using an unofficial Dx uninstaller. This, however, is not 100% safe, and may cause your sytem to crash.

You can find the unistaller here: http://www.tweaktown.com

Note that Dx 8 is not certain to be the problem.

Cheers
