:My PC keeps crashing/rebooting when I play AC1/AC2/AO or other 3D-games in Fullscreen Mode. This has been annoying me for quite a while.
I know it is the video card (original ATI Radeon 9700 Pro) or its driver, but I tried anything from various driver versions and changing AGP settings in the BIOS to downclocking the card without any success.
Last weekend I switched AO to Windowed Mode because there is a little tool that pops up a window when you request missions to display some info - and I did not want to ALT-TAB between the two.
Suddenly I was able to play AO for hours without any crash with unchanged settings of game and Windows.
"OK", I thought to myself, "lets switch AC2 to Windowed Mode too to check the theory" - and YES, it ran for hours too.
"OK", I thought to myself, "lets switch AC1 to Windowed Mode too". As that is not possible through the Configuration Program I downloaded TweakAC, which lets you change the Video Mode and also displays that setting correctly when being restarted.
Nevertheless AC1 still starts in Fullscreen Mode.
TweakAC is quite old, and apparently somewhere between its last release and the last AC1 patch the Client changed the way to check this setting.
I also checked some Dual-Log pages, but did not find any other method but some hacked versions of old Clients.
Do you know a registry value or a tool to start AC1 in Windowed Mode ?
