Game problems

I have recently reloaded Win98se, and I play metal of honor regularly, but It freezes now most the time when it loads..
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, same thing occurs most of the time.. Sometimes it loads untill I try to connect online or play it, then it freezes.. I have to reboot....
I tried to download spearhead demo and get the same problem..
I tried battlefield 1942 and it locks up too...

I have loads of games and they all work fine ....
I got the directx 9 and lastest video drivers for my SIS315E graphics card........ system is a 1.0 gig AMD athylon, 512 ram

I cant figure this out... Played these game for months and now...
any sugesstions here?
thanks

There is one thing I have been noticing. Lately people with DirectX 9 have been having some problems. I have DX9 and I started incurring some problems along with some others in this forum.

Some problems with the new version include multiplayer problems and driver conflicts.

Remember that this is only beta and it is not supported. A full working version isn't expected for a while.

 

thanks
It was acting bad before I looked for Directx and got version 9...
will try the old one again... anything is worth trying at this point

 

Make sure you uninstall is correctly though...Microsoft never included an uninstaller.

 

just found out, directx 9 is NOT beta no mo.....

its the latest....

 

Really? So soon? I'll have to check that out.
