[Resolved] Need Help with Command and Conquers Zero Hour

[SGT Gweedo]

I've tried just about every combination of options i can think of to create a usable profile.:bang: I list the steps I used for the first few scenarios that I tried. I will also be attaching the summary logs for each scenario.

I hope someone here has some idea of whats going on. I will check again, but I'm pretty sure this work on 32 bit XP, but I will confirm that shortly.

Thanks in advance guys and gals.

Ok just attach the summary logs.

 

[Webslinger]

3.1.2.2 with no plug-ins

1. Update Game Jackal: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=171632&postcount=1

2. If you are having problems after an update, completely uninstall Game Jackal and reboot. Then reinstall the new version (note your profiles and setting will be preserved). If you are still having problems after an update, try re-profiling the offending profile.

3. Follow the recommendations of the Performance and Reliability wizard.

4. If that doesn't work, try creating the profile with "Image mode" checked.
