3dMark03 problem

This is a discussion about 3dMark03 problem in the General Software category; I think I'll wait for version 6.0 and maybe then they will have all the XP issues worked out with no need for installing patches or following special instructions.

I recently downloaded the new 3dmark03, installed it and when i went to run the benchmark everything is fine till it completely loads the first benchmark and the program just crashes and goes back to the desktop...I don't think it could be my hardware...Anyone have any advice or having the same problem I am?

not if he can install it and run it. if the download is corrupt the installer wont run. its doing CRC checks before execution.

Good point El_Coyote, It probably would not install if download is corrupt.

Does 3Dmark03 require DX9 ?

If I remember well, I had the same problem and fixed it by changing some of my ZoneAlarm settings. Weird & lame isn't it? So the source of your problem may be some of your programs running in the background.
