Thanks for the quick response

Have all the latest drivers for joystick,video and sound.  Using v1.4 patch
DirectX9

The installation is a vanilla install nothing custom, no custom ships - just
an outof the box install and 1.4 update.

There are several in this group running XP and are having the same problem.
They can load and play for about 5 to 10 minutes and then we hear "ding" see
the white mouse and the game is locked up.  All version are retail no
copies.
