Over the weekend my computer crashed. I had to reinstall operating system. Xp wouldn't install. Tech Support was stumped on it.

So i decided to use my vista disc from my laptop.


ANyways. to make a long story short.

i've spent hours trying to figure it out


If i roll back to old drivers, my FPS in source is arond 11. WTF.

And if i use the most up to date catalyst drivers from ATI.

THe source screen loads real quick then crashes.
:(

ugh. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

[Bad Kitty]

yea. i hear ya. I wish i could install xp.

I have xp and everything.

I went to reinstall it.

Came to the product key page. entered my valid key i got when i purchased xp, and i got a Code not valid. End of story, i got 2 new keys from microsoft, and still had tech support baffled when we couldn't get it to install. :(

Anywyas. yea.

thats because vista deactivated your windows XP key, gj.

[Bad Kitty]

no. I never installed vista over xp.

I had xp. it crashed. i tried to reinstall.

No go. So i decided to go with vista.

both of my xp serials are brand new by microsoft tech support.

They couldn't understand why it happend :-/

same thing happened to me (sort of)

tried to reformat and use my same key for xp home ..... says its invalid

nothing i could be about it so i "bought" another one..sigh...windows can suck my dick i guess =)

[Bad Kitty]

I hear ya.

When i went to reinstall Xp on a brand new never formated partition.

I'd enter my VALID brand new serial key. And it would come up saying Invalid Key entered.

Over and over and over. etc.

So i went vista.

now when i try to play source. It just shows the loading screen for a second and crashed to desktop :(
