Whoa...you running in Windows? My gaming box is WinXP Pro running on an AthlonXP 1900+, 512MB PC-133, Visiontek GF4 MX440 (same as you have, I'm guessing) with the dual VGA outs. I'm currently running the DetXP 40.41 drivers, and I have no problems at all. I've never had any problems like the one you're describing, actually. What resolution do you run on your desktops? What size monitors are they? What resolution do you run for HL? When you say "it crashes back to the desktop", are there any error messages or anything that are displayed? Try it windowed just to see what happens. FYI: when HL or any other app changes your res from a larger res to a lower res, it will squeeze out the part of the windows that don't fit in the now-lower res monitor, pushing everything in the secondary monitor over. I have never been able to solve this problem or find out if it's a known issue that is or is not on nVidia's to-do list. Try closing all other programs you have running, making sure that HL is the only thing, and see what happens. Does it crash as soon as it hits the HL menu? Or does it crash only when it gets in-game? -- Eric (the Deacon remix) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
