Fixes
Spooge Driver Not Found
To fix this error, do the following steps:
- 1. Go to your DoW file(where you installed your game, usually the "THQ" folder).
- 2. Open the installation folder you currently have (e.g. Winter Assault, Dark Crusade)
- 3. Open your "Drivers" folder.
- 4. Open the "spdx9_config" file.
- 5. Scroll down to your appropriate video card (e.g. Nvidia, ati).
- 6. Find the "allowdevice 0" lines.
- 7. Change the "0" to "1" on all the "allowdevice 0" lines.
- 8. Save the file as "spdx9_config". You may have to delete the original to do so.
- 9. Try running the game.
