Guest Rickybobby88 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Alright I have an issue with my game. I just purchased this game two days ago and love it. However, I can only play for about 25 minutes and then it shuts down and I have to start all over unless I save frequently. I get a driver error about some igfx driver. I am currently running Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium and do have the game running the older windows 2000 to help operate better. I have also lowered screen resolution for the game to 800x600 which did give me a longer time to play but has not been much longer. Any suggestions would be great?I also would like to play this game without it being in full screen. I did see the forum about that and I tried changing the code and it would not allow me to save the changes.Thanks in advance,Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rickybobby88 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Not a clue of how to do that. I just had to restore my whole computer to factory settings before I purchased this game. So it's set up like it was when I purchased the computer in June 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be due to the fact it's an on board graphic card or due to the old drivers. If you are really lucky, they will work upon graphic drivers update.

It said I have to download using my manufacturers website and the most updated version on sony's website is version 7 unless your able to find it on the site. I searched and searched and could not find it. I will try disabling uac and virus protection and see if it allows me to play longer. If you find a more updated version on sony's website let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rickybobby88 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I thought about changing screen resolution hoping that would fix the issue as well. i saw a previous post about that and tried changing the resolution using notepad and it would not allow me to save the changes. Any suggestions there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
