Chaotic Dreams

I installed CUT2 and played with mutator, later tried gametype but UT2004 kept crashing when I quit. That means, it could not switch to CUT. I created a shortcut for it, but that ends with message "your CD Key is not valid".
UT2k4 runs normally. Could someone help me?

hmm,could you try again,show the log,show the size of ChaosUT2 folder

Directory is unaltered, size 547 812 667.

When I quit UT2k4 or FragOps, windows XP shows blue screen (BSOTD?)
and it says something about IRQ read and write.

CUT doesn`t even start.

That looks like the normal ut2004.log? If it was can you find one in your chaosut2\system folder (chaosut2.log)?

a bit smaller than mine,but guess thats becouse mine is edited

Does it show cd-key invalid EVERY time you boot it?

i suggest you ask about on the ATARI forum about the BSOD problem,sounds pritty serious(burning hardware,virii or messed up drivers...i guess)

try deleting ChaosUT2.ini and ChaosUT2User.ini in UT2004/Chaosut2/System(doubt it will help,but worth a try)

That worked, CUT now runs. But now I am wxperiencing problem that already appeared here somewhere...
When I (finally) got into duel, it did not respond to keyboard or mouse.
Anyway, thanks, I`ll look for next solution elsewhere.

you may have to rebind some of your keys...

but let us know!!

Heh I had to rebind them
glad that I didn`t have to reinstall all those thingies like that guy...
I was confused because even my mouse was not responding.

When I Alt+Tabbed back, it showed BSOTD with error "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". I tried to make some changes in Bios settings but it had no effect.
It shows only when I end game and then I have to reset my computer, or when I Alt+tab.

reinstall DirectX
Install the newest drivers for your vid
I suggest you find a ram checking/Comp temperature showing program,that might be the key
Does it happen on other gamess?

That BSOD is very likely to be a hardware issue. If it is happening when you close or alt tab, it is most likely to be your vid card. Try DirectX and vid card drivers as TKATK recommended.
