I am not to sure about that. I run SEIV Gold primarily on my Win98 gaming system with no errors since the Last patch. I always have the forum running in the background and Winamp playing my 10Gig collection of MP3's. I also run SEIV Gold on my Win2k laptop, also with no errors since the Last patch (1.67). I personally believe that it is caused by hardware and software configurations (ie: not all hardware and software are as compatable as people may think), which better explains why some are plagued by it while others don't see it. There are a variety of things you can do to "tweak" your system to be more complacent to RCE's and IPF's, but they generally involve some level of registry editing so are not appealling to the general public. I carry most of these "tweaks" in my arsenal of CD's, so I could post a couple of the more important ones, if desired, with the complete understanding that, without looking at your particular configuration, I can offer no guarantee as to their effectiveness or stability on your particular system.
