Am having a sever problem with the game freezing and ultimately shutting down. I have tried all the upgrades, audio, video etc. but haven't found a solution. I have submitted my problems to the support game sites and have completed all of their suggestions but they haven't responded in a satisfactory manner to the continuing problem. I am running on a DELL 8200 dual Pentium4, 2.26 geg, 512mg RAM, NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 Ver 1.5.3 128mg and a Turtle Beach THX surround sound system. Seems my other games don't have this particular problem. I could use some suggestions other than the standard game upgrade via the web site. Thanks

You could also try rolling back to previous Nvidia drivers, this has seemed to help some problems that I've seen. -- -SnoopJeDi

It could be a power or heat problem. -- Servo "Mind you don't cut yourself, Mordechai!" tservo100 at ameritech dot net Slow, fiery death to all spammers!!!

Thanks If you've got EAX (or surround or whatever it's called) in the audio options enabled, try disabling it.
