Hello everyone,

I have been playing Delta Force Black Hawk Down/ Team Sabre and Joint Ops Combined Arms for a long time now. When I click on the icons, the monitor starts to flicker from blank screen then the desktop in safe mode, it switches back and forth about four times and then sets me back to desktop.
I have unistalled/reinstalled the games many of times, updated everthing on the computer and videocard's driver.
I enjoy these games considering how old they are, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I am running:

ATI Radeon X1600PRO AGP 512MB
HP Pavilion a720n
Windows XP Home Edtion
AMD Athlon 3200+
2.2Ghz, 1GB of RAM

Try the omega drivers. Stock ATi drivers are rubbish.

Well, I installed an Omega driver and still the same result.
I uninstalled/ reinstalled both games again and nothing. THe computer function fines I can surf the net, look at blogs and pictures, except that it won't play any games at all.
I don't get it, it worked fine all this time and now for reasons unknown, I am getting this problem. If I had another video card maybe that might solve the problem, what do you think?

Ok, I redid this again. uninstalled ALL associated drivers for the video card, cleaned registry and installed an Omega driver. Crossed my fingers and now I can access and play online Joint Ops. Don't know why the latest Ati driver (Vers. 7.10) is crappy but at least now I can play.
Thanks
