Okay, I'm checking from work tonight, so I don't have the exacts.. I'll post from home later tonight, but this is basically the jist... I installed a couple of different things previous to this huge malfunction I had:
1. Norton Yahoo!
2. A TCP/IP performance enhancer from the anti-cheat clans website.
After installing these programs, the following occured:
1. The Norton software froze and after a restart wouldn't re-open.
2. Would not respond to a remove on the add/remove screen.
3. Completely killed my internet connection.
( I failed to mention this earlier because I have already used the norton-symantec removal tool and ran s&d and a couple of other programs, including manually and with Eusing clearing out the registry entries..)
4. My Winsock entries were corrupted and after using Microsofts repair program and TCP/IP repair I still recieved the 166.000.00.000 IP error.
(IPCONFIG/RELEASE AND RENEW DID NOT REESTABLISH CONNECTIVITY)
5. After struggling all day with this problem I decided to play some Renegade {single player}. When I went to launch Rengaurd opened and would not let me launch the game, so I launched from the game.exe original file and that didn't work. Then, a few days later after my connection was still not repaired, I decided to uninstall Rengaurd and did, successfully. I then went to launch Renegade and this time expierenced the problem with the black screen mentioned in the first post.
6. Since then I have tried all the things listed so far, but to no avail. Not even replacing the "inf" file for protocol helped. (I've hooked other computers up to my modem so I know its not that.)
That is why I say that I feel like I am boned.... Regardless of what I do, I can't get it to launch..
Specs I know from top of head are:
WIN XP SP2
DURON PROCESSOR
NVIEW MONITOR
NVIDIA DRIVERS
CABLE MODEM (CHARTER 5MB)
MY COPY OF RENEGADE IS THE ORIGINAL
I AM AT WORK ALL NIGHT SO ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED AND I CAN DOWNLOAD ANYTHING I NEED TONIGHT ONTO MY STICK AND FLLOW-UP WITH RESULTS TOMARROW.... THANKS FOR ANY HELP....REALLY.
