Swat 4 ( couple of questions)

[unheimlich]

Hi guys.I have a serious problem with SWAT.Every time i quit the game my pc crashes and displays a blue screen with the message "IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL".And the really annoying thing is that the progress i have made in the game is erased and it starts from the beginning ? Does anyone know where the game keeps the saves so that i can minimize it during play and copy them in a safe folder ? 'Cause i can't seem to know of any other way to fix the problem...thanx in advance !

Ok gone and got the game . Backed it up no probs
@ unheimlich. Just installed the game so once i have created a profile etc/saved a game ill post back later tonight (UK time) and tell you where the directory is. Are you using a nocd/fixed exe ? If so have you tried playing the game from the original disks without a fixed exe to see if your problem still occurs ?. Are you able to run the game from the original disk ? If you post again post as much info as poss so "we" can help sort you out.

I'm playing the game from the original disc !! Actually i installed the crack to see if it helps,but nothing happened...I looked in the game folder for the saves
but i can't seem to find the files(you can't save,the game autosaves after the completion of each mission).
I think that my problem is based on a conflict between two devices of my pc.Maybe the soundcard and the video-card,sharing the same IRQ.But why does SWAT cause it ? Why other games play normally ? And why does it only happen when i quit the game and not during it ? That's what i can't figure out...

[DABhand]

Sound and Video cant share the same IRQ.

Sound should be IRQ5
Video should be IRQ11

[unheimlich]

Really ? I thought,something like that was the case...Anyway,thanks for the advice! So now i have to look another way...

[coffin filler]

Well i came here to post back to you (as i said i would) but there is no longer really any point

So your crashing prob seems to be related. So i guess this reply is actualy spam


Just edited this post as i had a burning desire to tell everyone who dosent own this game how good it is. = V GOOD if your into a thinking tactical shooter.
