Freezes
 

I don't know if it's a bug but, whenever I click on V4 it freezes my comp and I have to restart it. I tried re-installing. Still doesn't work.

Are your graphic drivers up to date?

Probably not, this is an old 1999 computer. I'm getting a new one soon. I'll try again then.

Try to install the latest gfx driver http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=61703,
or try to switch the screen/background to 16 bit mode, that often fixes problems. I am writing from and 7 years old computer right now, most of the time its not the hardware, its often the driver.

I have Intel(R) 810 Chipset Graphics Driver PV.21. Good or bad?
And I checked out the Intel site and I need Xp. I have 98 >_<

A lot of people have those built-in Intel chips. First switch to 16 bit, otherwise some stuff will not work at all. Then select 82810 graphic driver, should be at this page: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...D=798&lang=eng

I downloaded Graphics Driver - Zip Format [WIN9X67.ZIP] and all it does is make Graal pop up. >_<

Then I downloaded Graphics Driver [WIN9XE67.EXE, WIN9XM67.EXE] and it was going all great until this poped up: Error number 0x80070725 Description:Incompatible version of the RPC stub. :\

Weird, RPC is some Windows NT/2000/XP stuff
You get that error from Windows or when running Graal ? You can at least see the starting window now ?
Hmmm Try this:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/rpcstub.xml

I saved it on my computer like it asked, then downloaded it, and that exact window poped up.

You have done the other stuff, booting into DOS mode, renaming the file ?

I rebooted my computer and it worked, but Graal 4 still freezes. :(

So you don't get that error anymore?
Do you see the starting window of Graal, or where does it freeze exactly?
Can you close the Graal window or does it freeze the computer?

It freezes the computer when you click on it, and sometimes it says cannot find graal4.exe (which is a good thing, because it doesn't freeze when this happens, however it does not start either) however, my gfx drivers are not yet up to date, and so i've decided to wait till i update them. No window comes up.

No window comes up at all for me, it just..freezes..>_<

Ok you also made sure that your screen/desktop is in 16 bit mode?
Can you post graal4console.log here?

I have 16 bit mode.. and I have no idea what graal4console.log is XD

It's a file in the Graal folder

Created DirectDraw object
Initialized Direct3D7
Initialized DirectDraw
Graphic Capabilities:
Drawing of alpha blended textures: true
Textures with non-power-of-2 size: false
3D Textures with non-power-of-2 size: false
Initialized Direct3D7

Er... what does that mean?

Does it actually open a window? Do you get a blue screen ?

When I try to open v4 it just loads... then freezes (Nothing pops up)

I noticed with the Intel(R) 82810E Graphic Controllers, the setup doesn't update the drivers. Un-install the current drivers then install the drivers that Stefan linked in the previous post of this thread. Then follow his instructions once again.

updated my gfx driver, but i still cannot start it. Either freezes, or a blue box with illegible text comes up, and when you hit the button, it doesn't start, saying that graal4.exe cannot be found X_X

excaliber: You tried to install Graal v4? You could also put it in the Graal v2 folder and rename to graal4.exe and see if its working then. Also make sure you have switched to 16 bit mode.

i tried to instal it, from the old instaler, i tried to download from graalonline.com, but that was for V2 x_X it is in 16 bit mode, i'll try the re-naming thing next XD

I'm lost..

Yes me too :D
May be we should open separate threads for everyone who has such problems, because each one has different problems.
MrsMastermind:
- Get the good driver
- Uninstall the old driver
- Install the new driver
- Switch to 16 bit
- Download the latest Graal version (4.0303)
- Start it
- Report here what happens

I have updated my driver, when i click on the actual graal4.exe, the computer freezes, nothing comes up, however occasionally a blue box wil come up, but none of the buttons on it (i can't read the text) do anything to start V4, i have the .log thing, should i post it on here?

Yes

sorry I was so late o this x_x anyway, I've found that if i delete all V$ stuff, then use the setup, it works, but I have to delete everything each time, and it always freezes durring play

excaliber7388 since you have not opened a new thread for you problem yet it would be good if you post your computer specs (OS, graphics card etc.)
