Wow it's actually been almost a year since the last drivers. I'll give it a go tomorrow.
edit: you know it's actually possible that might be the problem. I tried large battles before with 30 fighters a side and full tech but gave up because every time the game froze as soon as they all started shooting
edit2: you know and another thing I didn't think it was a hardware problem because of the low end, but I guess the purpose of the latest drivers is to get the best performance from hardware, so I might not need a supercomputer, but I might need the latest drivers to let mine work.
2ghz xp pro
512mb RAM
Radeon 9600
and before the inevitable xp critique, I am considering a new system so I can learn Vista. anyone know if it's worth it? I thought if my work is in IT maybe I should have the latest windows. As for MAC, well I use that at work.
