Yep, that's the same. I tried upgrading my video card's drivers, but found the latest Version was already installed. I haven't yet figured out the problem. But the game still works, so I can't complain too much

Re: Questions? Need help? Look here
I'm noticing that a lot of the systems (though not all) that are having problems have AMD processors. Is anyone with an AMD processor able to run?

Yep. AMD 1700+ (i.e. 1.4 GHz) here.

Re: Questions? Need help? Look here
Updated all drivers/directx but still the freezing is spoiling the fun as I have to exit the game and start it again in order to get rid of the messed-up display. Reloading the game is no good; it is required to restart the game. This happens ~every 5-10 minutes. Any ideas?  |

Re: Questions? Need help? Look here
FYI: I have the following system..
ECS Elitegroupe K7S5A motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.46ghz)
nVidia GForce2 MX/400 64mb
SoundBLaster Live! Value
256 Meg RAM
30gig HD, 52x CD-ROM,
The game runs fine for me, but early on the game was crashing to desktop without warning. With Aaron's help the problem was tracked down to the sound card.
I found updated drivers at www.soundbLaster.com and it has never crashed since.
The nVidia drivers I'm running are v45.23.
The SBLive drivers are v 5.12.2.252 (7/24/2002)
I have the original v1.0 of my motherboard BIOS.
None of my devices are sharing IRQ's except for my USB controllers and my sound card. (but I have no USB devices plugged in to my computer)
I've heard that many motherBoards have problems with AMD, but most if not all of these have BIOS patches that fix the problem.
One other note,.. the only 'active' program on my taskbar (icons on the bottom right!) is the volume control. (I'm a firm believer in running programs WHEN I need them, and not having stuff running IN CASE I will need them.)
I hope some of this info helps, have a great day.
Cheers!

Re: Questions? Need help? Look here
My system:
AMD 1.3 GHZ
256 MB Ram
HD 60 GB
Windows 98
Geforce 4/64MB
2 USBs beign used (Palmtop and Webcam)
And in my system the game run smootly (the demo), never having to upgrade any drivers or any kind of problems (but i use the safe mode)...
And i'm using the highest graphics possible in the demo, and it runs normally, never having a hang or anything....
So the AMD processr aren't the problem...
One thing i did was getting all the windows fixes from microsoft some time ago and i never had any problems with games anymore...
Hope this helps...
