Ok, I wasn't to sure of where to post this I tried the "General Gaming" but that wasn't any help so maybe you guys can help shed some light here. :)

Everytime I go to start up Quake4 (I just reinstalled it after a reformat) it just crashes to my desktop. Then when ever I install the patches, I get a windows error report. This never use to happen, I just reinstalled Windows, and I have everything setup the way I had it befor. The only thing I changed was getting a new sound card, Audigy2 to an X-Fi. Any ideas? :confused: Oh, and I tried the sound drivers off the CD and websight... but to no avail. Also tried different video drivers too.
System specs in sig.

What was your windows error. It should tell you in the event viewer in administrative tools.
 
Don't know, im at work right now, when I get home I'll look and see.

Ok here is the error summary- Faulting application quake4.exe, version 1.1.11.2380, faulting module ctdproxy.dll, version 5.12.1.1143, fault address 0x0000ab04.

I'm gonna google the 0x0000ab04 error and see what it is related to.

In the mean time, if anyone knows or has any ideas that would be most usefull.

Thanks!

Edit: Ok it seems that this error is indeed related to audio, so im off to see if I can resolve this.

You have to install the EAX-HD patch from the X-Fi cd to get anything out of it.

i thought that was only for doom 3, grant they are both on the same engine i wasn't ready to give that advice not knowing if it would work in a different game.
 
Well, I got everything fully working now, I wiped out all drivers and anything related to Creative and downloaded the latest drivers off creatives sight, and that fix all of my problems.

Maybe that is. I can't remember if I installed it or not. I have both games.
