Random Crash

[Darkreaper]

When I play around with the video settings, its a gamble for me because the game likes to crash.
Happens when I change a setting and the loading screen should come (like changing AA or shader).
Then the msg
"display adapter does not support format d24s8 for x8r8g8b8"
pops up.

I took a look at your dxdiag.txt

Try updating your nforce2 driver. The actual version is 5.10.

Make sure to grab the international WHQL driver. I saw you have a German WXP.

Hope that helps.

Do you know what this message is about?

Because I'm getting the same thing, but I'm using an Radeon 9600, with new DirectX & ATI drivers (and the card worked before with ArmA, but on a different PC).
