Hi this is Cal Stover, a programmer supporting RIKKI TIKKI. I have stabilized his system and wanted to share how I did it.
COMPAL DCY30 (Laptop)
Windows XP Home 2002 SP3
Pentium 4 2.88 GHz
512 MB RAM
Display: ATI RC300M
Driver version: 6.14.10.6396
This system was more or less OK until we used the logo feature for the intermission screen. Once we added it, we started getting lockups. To fix the problem, we used the following workaround.
Right click the desktop, choose display, then click advanced in the settings tab.
(Note that I've selected display 2 before hitting advanced. You're going to need to repeat this procedure with display 1 also)
OK, so hit advanced and choose the troubleshooting tab:
We took the slider one notch to the left, and turned off write combining. You may wish to try other settings. Hit Apply, and hit OK. Select the other display and repeat these settings. Restart your system.
I had RIKKI TIKKI do everything he could to make the system lock up again and he failed. Your Milage May Very
* Remember to do the same thing to both displays!
