Ok, here's a question for you all... All being whoever _does_ read this. I have a Matrox Millenium 2MB PCI video card. I have installed every single update you can get from both Matrox and Microsoft. I am still experiencing many many crashes. My machine crashes with almost every game I have. The list includes Mechwarrior (Mercenaries), Diablo, and a few others I don't feel like mentioning. Bottom line is, my machine crashes a LOT. This brings me to that question I had.. Is anyone else having similar problems? The machine I am using is a Pentium 90 with 32 megs RAM, a 4x CDrom, and the above listed video card. The motherboard (for what its worth to mention) is an Intel Triton. Also installed is a Sounblaster AWE32, and a 33.6k baud internal modem. All of the above items are the genuine article, not clones. The machine on the other hand, is not a brand name, it was put together a couple years back by an independent computer store. Aside from countless game problems, mostly related to directx, I have had no problems with the computer. If anyone that can shed some light on possible problems or suggestions to ease my madness, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Brian LaPointe
