Hi. I need some help getting this fine game working again.
Expendable is crashing on me. It used to work fine but this time around go.icd crashes immediately after loading the first level.
Menu, sound and intro movies are working fine.
I own a boxed original but I'm getting the same crash if I install the demo version, so I figure it can't be because of the copy protection.
I've also tried with a no-cd patch as well as some dodgy 'backups' I could find but the same thing happens regardless.
What bugs me is that this game used to work fine on XP... but I can't remember if I've actually played the game before on my present system or if it was on my old PC!
Here are my specs:
Geforce 7600GT AGP, latest forceware, DX9.0c march 2008 update
Soundblaster X-fi Xtrememusic, latest drivers from Creative
P5P800-SE with ICH5 and i865PE chipset, latest drivers from Intel
Pentium 4 model 651, 3.4 GHz
1GB RAM
I tried setting the affinity of go.icd to one CPU thread in Task Manager but that didn't help anything.
It's a DX6 game - when running DXdiag from DX6 (it's on the game CD) it complains that DDHELP.EXE is missing, but all the other files it checks for are present. It's on the CD though, but when I try to run it I get this error:
DDHELP.EXE - Entry Point Not Found
The Procedure entry point RegisterServiceProcess could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll
Any ideas? I don't know what to do from here.
