Title: Openbve 1.4.2 suddenly stopped working
Post by: Mkoyf on November 25, 2012, 06:21:14 pm
Hello,
I installed a few GTA games on my Windows XP Media Ctr Edition, and after i tried to launch Openbve and it loaded but the whole screen was white and a little purple and other colors. I have a ATI Radon X graphics driver/card and .Net 4, Can anyone help me?
Thanks

for me, and maybe for u, dont run any other programs when running openbve. that will free up the ram and memory for the software.

Make sure your drivers are up to date. It sounds to me like an issue with your graphic card's drivers.

Can you show me your Programs and features from the date you downloaded GTA 3,Vice City, and San Andreas?
Control Panel->Programs and Features (if you are viewing by small or large icons)
Control Panel->Programs->Uninstall ( if you are viewing by Category)

As of right now I'm assuming one of the GTA series may have installed something from Microsoft, like how GTA 4 installs .NET Framework 3.5 (or 4.0 I forgot which).

Gta forced me to install service pack 3. So does that alter anything?

Windows XP Service Pack 3? Did they make you install anything else? Redistributable? Visual C++? .Net Framework? I never installed GTA 3, SA or VC, but do they ask you to install .NET Framework 3.5 or lower? And check if you have any doubles of .NET Framework. Remove the older ones and keep the new one. Sometimes the old ones can interfere with the new and updated one.

Whoops sorry for that, kind of more common with Windows 7.


Start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs.
In the Currently installed programs box, click the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
