i found it ... I tought I tried that but looks like I didn't ...

its the first mission I play in TDM very good one !

well from what i saw this was definitly worth the trouble !! WOW Sad i snobbed this for so long because of DOOM ...

well finally !! i had to re install win xp to get it to work thank you for your help and patience !

yeah i tought about that too reinstalling XP but all the backup i would need to do , pictures, musics, emails adress books , favorites if the card change doesn't solve it i'll do that but i don't have the courage right now the guy advised me to re install winxp before anything else because there was no reason for my card not to work properly see you later !

Ok I updated the Motherboard BIOS sucessufully and install the original drivers for the graphic card but still no success A few months ago my Asus PCIE GF7 EN7600GT died and it was still on warranty so they gave me another one to make a long story short the idiot who owned the shop at the time (he went bankrupt a while after ) gave me a EVGA 9800GT saying it was a better one for my trouble and since then imy wolfenstein ,Call of duty and call of duty 2 stopped working those were working a similar way to doom 3 with a console at the start So my guess is that i should get a ASUS again to match my ASUS P5W DH motherboard ... will do this this afternoon ! I wanna thank you all for your advices and tricks i keep you posted when i change the card !

ok ! going for it ! i have a ASUS update utility to update the BIOS running on windows i did it once with floppies long ago and it worked so i'm confident I just hope it solves the problem ...

should I update the BIOS in safeboot mode ?

well i'm trying the inf thing in the device manager first but i may consider changing the card what would you suggest ?

i dont know much about Gl things i play call of duty modern warfare , rfactor, thief 2 earlier this year my NVidia 7600 broke and i had this 9800GT as i warranty replacement since then i couldn't play the call of duty, wolfenstein due to similar errors ... will try to install driver from inf file

well it has ATI cross fire multi gpu feature but i only have one card installed

when i run driver sweeper i noticed that i have ATI files even if my card isn't an ATi what is a ASUS enhanced display driver i have his too should i try the original drivers that came with the card ?

i uninstalled spybot it still doesn't work i really don't know what to try next ... i always get the same errors

i've been a fan of thief since the dark project i really wanna play this ... i don't even care for doom

yes there are process you can kill but not in safe mode , so i guess its not running in safe mode but i killed it in normal boot to re-install the driver or should i install the drivers in safe mode too ?

i will try that file in the main directory When i use driver sweeper in safe mode the Spybot isn't running could it be still active even if i don't see the process ?

this one gets me !!

i have the same problem but your solution doesn't work for me i have a 9800gt too i didn't know to refer my post to this one so I replied here but i have a thread started

ok i updated the Nvidia driver to the latest version i uninstalled doom 3 i will re install and try play it before i add the dark mod

downloading 260.99_desktop_winxp_32bit_international_whql.exe right now !!!

I updated my chipset drivers should i update the Nvidia drivers to the latest version or keep an older version ?

no its a : NVIDIA System Information report created on: 01/04/2011 22:22:06 [Display] Processor: Intel® Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2136 MHz) Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, 32-bit (Service Pack 3) DirectX version: 9.0c GPU processor: GeForce 9800 GT Driver version: 178.13 Stream processors: 112 Core clock: 301 MHz Memory clock: 100 MHz (200 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 256-bit Memory: 512 MB Video BIOS version: 62.92.69.00.30 IRQ: 16 Bus: PCI Express x16 [Components] nvCpl.cpl 2.1.270.00 NVIDIA Control Panel Applet nvCplUI.exe 2.1.270.00 NVIDIA Control Panel nvWSS.dll 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Workstation Server nvViTvS.dll 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Video and TV Server nvMoblS.dll 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Mobile Server NVMCTRAY.DLL 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Media Center Library NVOGLNT.DLL 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Compatible OpenGL ICD nvDispS.dll 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Display Server NVCPL.DLL 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Compatible Windows 2000 Display driver, Version 178.13 NV4_MINI.SYS 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Compatible Windows 2000 Miniport Driver, Version 178.13 NV4_DISP.DLL 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA Compatible Windows 2000 Display driver, Version 178.13 nvGameS.dll 6.14.11.7813 NVIDIA 3D Settings Server

i did n't put annything in the doom 3/ base directory and I already set the threaded thing to off as you suggested to someone else but still it doesn't work

yes i have driver sweeper and used it , i will try and look for new drivers this is frustrating i really wanna play this !!!

i will do those steps right now but the doom game crashes before starting so i can't access the console
