Installing Prob

Hi all!

I've already written some journals about my problems playing et and other fps games @ Windows vista home premium....
I'd like to thank you for the support you gave me but sadly enough it didn't work out good.
I still have the same fucking problem...

Now that all my hope was gone to fix this problem i tried to install windows xp sp2 on my pc (pc setting you find in my profile).
But this doesn't work out either...
He reads my disc from xp and starts loading the files to install them;
but then there a blue screen with ERROR (no further explanation given).
I did it without formatting vista (to install xp on another partition) but also with formatting vista.
My cousin Belgium P5Y sais it's because vista is or was installed and that's probably indeed the problem... But can anyone help me fix this problem plz!!!!
I'd kiss the one who could because i'm already living half a year or more without my beloved game ET and i realy can't stand it anymore!

Tx in advance,
and i realy hope somebody can help me...
Grtz, nAz

^^
did but then i still have major fps lag provided by vista
Parent
uninstall vista, get xp
Parent
maybe try Linux? dunno soz =(
vista is not necessary ur problem, you just need to tweak it, there are some tweaks / threads you should read and do everything they say and try again
your friend lied because i could install it np

your lag could be by a lot of things tbh
the lag i know and already tried everything you said in my last journal :D
eventhough it didn't work

there are many ppl who have had quite thesame probs with vista; but they all can fix it, like you can install xp without probs...
But i've might bought a useless pc cuz nothing get's fixed at my pc...
i've read every tutorial or journal or thread that could possibily help me on this site...
But nothing fixes my problems :(
Parent

Parent

i'm already thinking about buying a new hard disc
i'll trie that errorcheck

Tx for all ur help m8!

why do you changet to xp :o omg .i have vista and no problem,what was the problem whit et? do you trayed to instal ultimate instaler ?
e*i read your last jurnal.maybe its cos of graphic card ? do you tested it if she get max performence, cos maybe its fucked
the problem with et is that i have major fps lag...
i can perfectly play et only with an 125 fps which lagz :(

it can't be my graphic card cuz it's made to give high performance and i already downloaded all drivers which should fix compatibility problems with older games (probably the fix they direct X10 compatibility)...
Parent
8600gs is rly low card,do you have posibility to check anathere graphic card on your computer maybe,you will know if its cos of card then
Parent
hmmm
that would be very weird...
my whole et carrier (if u can call it like that :p ) i played on my old pc, which has a standart dell graphic card 32bit...
i never played et with more then 30 fps because of my very retarded pc...
but i could play it better then now with 125 fps which lagz very much...
now my view and graphics are way better; but i can't move or shoot fluently^^
Parent
wired its this they still sell old nvidia card like 5400 or 6600 but they stoped sell 8600gs
Parent
did u do a full format or just this quick thingie?
i devided my hard disc into partitions...
i did format with the vista cd and completely removed vista from my pc, then i put in xp disc and installed it; but then i got error...
i didn't even come to the part where i can choose a partition to install xp on^^
Parent
strange... hmm do u have 2 hdds? (not partitions) at my last format i couldnt install xp because of my second hdd, cant remember if i got an error or something but it worked after i unplugged my second hdd. so if u got 2 then try to unplug the unused one, maybe it helps.. no waranty ofc :)
Parent
idd strange
i have one internal hd of 500 gb devided in partitions on which i tried to install xp and on which vista was installed...

further i have an external hd of 500 gb on which only software and setups are placed...
maybe you're right but i don't think that my external hd could be the problem for installing xp...

The last thing i'm now thinking to do is buying a new internal hd (not from medion) and try to install xp on that one... but dunno if it will work
Parent
btw what sort partition is the new one ?

just right click on the drive and properties

filesystem : ???

if its ntfs then i dunno
Parent
the new one?
you mean the external one?
NTFS
