I got amd 1gig and geforce2gts64
I just upgraded to Windows XP and since then i just can't play anymore operation flashpoint.
Everytime i start the game my monitor screen get totally black (as if deconnected) but i can hear the sound of the game behind.
I just can't play and it drives me mad about XP.
I have the latest driver and i think i tried everything.
I don't know what to do.. Is there a solution before i reformat everything?http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gifhttp://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif?

Thanks

Sounds like the resolution and/or refresh rate that are selected aren't supported by the video driver you are using under XP.

Try this:

1. Run the OFP Preferences program and try setting the resolution to be the same as what you are using for the Windows desktop.

2. Open the Flashpoint.cfg file with NOTEPAD and change the refresh entry to refresh=0; to get OFP to use the default refresh rate for that resolution.

You were right.
My windows desktop was 800*600, the game preference was 1028*768; so i changed my desktop to 1028*768... but it did'nt worked.
So i putted my desktop back to 800*600 and i did same to the game.. now it works!
But theres still a fu%$#.. i can play only in 800*600 and the graphics are'nt so good that way. i mean i wish i could be in 1024/768 as before on win98se.

If you know the way to do that... ( im about to try the refresh=0 thing)
Thanks again Mister Frag.
