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.
