Why are you playing AC on a server?
Anyways, is this with Decal or without? If with, does it work with decal off? post a decal export.

no decal. and im running it on my server to mule stuff, dual logging is pretty choppy on my primary computer, i need more ram.
this one should run it no problem, im not expecting great gfx or anything but im also not going to be playing it here either, i suppose i could dual boot. oh well, its just kinda irritating is all.

AC should run on the server. That being said, not all manufacturers have solid drivers for the Microsoft server OS. So you are going to need to do some research on the driver and DirectX side of things.
The other area to check into is allowing the ports. Depending on what else you are running on your server, you may find that your other applications interfere with the communication the AC server and the AC client.

I've got it running on my server. That being said, I remember I had to do something special to make it work, but for the life of me I don't remember what. Try asking on Turbines tech support boards, I think they know.

If I remember correctly (no promises) it had something to do with DirectX 9. Check Control Panel 'Classic View' to see if it has a DirectX configuration. I'm not sure if I had to do something special to get that.
Open it, and under Direct3D, make sure that 'Allow Hardware Acceleration' is checked.
Its been a long while so I'm not sure if that's what it is, but it is ringing a few bells with me. If thats not it, it was something similar.
If that doesn't work, try asking on the Decal support or User-To-User boards, maybe someone there remembers the trick...

For the syncing issues, make sure you have all the latest drivers.

In that case you might be as good as you're gonna get.
My 2k3 server machine is for my buffbot, so I don't change toons very often on it. If it's an option, you might not want to use the server as your main machine.

im not, just using it for muling, but i think i found a fix 
i installed XP pro as well. haha so when i dont need my server running i'll just boot to XP and use that, blah. i still dont know if that works yet tho, it could just be the card is to old or somthing drivers dont work with DX9. they should tho

I run AC fine on my 2k3 server. However, I have a GeForce FX5600 or something like that. The one change that I had to make was right click on desktop, go to properties, settings, advanced, troubleshoot, then slide that bar all the way to the right.
I am constantly switching charecters in and out, because I too use it for muling.

hmm errord out on the DX 9 test. 8 and 7 uhmm....worked? lol not quite the correct term but they didnt kil my computer like the 9 test did. dont remember the error. wanted to reboot and send MS a report.
long error with a hex string in it. I wonder if some of the memory on the card is bad? could be eh?
o i just need newer drivers. not sure, currently running 71.84. its the latests i could find that support the Geforce II ultra. blah.
so when it changes syncs or res the screen goes black the light starts flashing and this will last from 10 - 300 seconds. sometimes longer. when exiting AC it never came back i rebooted at 12 minutes. very irritating, OH this is in XP now. i thought it may have been OS related. its not.

so thoes didnt work either. i was going to say forget it and let MS use its own drivers. but the drivers it used were forceware 45.23 and they work. haha. so yah. work for AC and all the DX tests.
i guess this card just isnt supportd or something. strange
