IIRC this was a bug that was fixed in a patch. Without the patch the
only way to fix it was to copy your saved games and reinstall the entire
game - quite a drag and then a few missions later it would happen again.
The patch should be available from EA or Origins webpage, it was also on
a few magazine cover disks, it may still be as it's now been released on
budget.

Not a problem I have at the moment (not replacing my P100 until next
month). When I had a similar problem with the original WC I got round it
by disabling the internal and external cache from the BIOS screen. For
WC2 I only had to disable the external BIOS. There is a shareware
utility called MoSlo, but I'm not sure if it works with Privateer 2.
Abnyone else know?
