Who can i blame??

Game developers for not releasing a compatible patch or board developers for not really helping fix the problem?

I have an ECS K7VZA motherboard with a VIA KT133A chipset, and it runs fine for me. I used to have problems that I blamed on the chipset for the longest time, then I found out it was bad RAM.

Make sure you download the newest 4 in 1 drivers. I personally can't use the IDE part of the drivers, they cause my CD-ROM to stop working. Use only which ones work for you. DirectX 8.1, latest vid card drivers, etc.

Also, make sure 4x AGP is selected in your BIOS.

1.) This post belongs to the troubleshooting forum.
2.) What is your actual problem?
3.) I have an MSI K7T-Pro (VIA KT-133) and no issues at all with anything.
4.) Visit your mobo manufacturer for BIOS updates
5.) Install VIA 4in1 ver. 4.35 + 4.10 VIA AGP driver update.
6.) take into account that you could be the one responsible for your Problems with OFP, by having messed up or misconfigured your system.
It´s also possible that your comp has been assembled by semi-pro´s, putting in Peripherie that conflicts with other devices. Some Hardware parts of your system could be defective, such as RAM, Mobo etc.
7) Until you havn´t located the cause, you can´t blame anyone.
8) Have a nice day.
