Is the game crashing or is it my laptop?

[KiloOhm]

I reformatted and ran scandisk, no physical errors were found. What happened is my my whole directory structure somehow got trashed. It took me about 2 days to recover my semester project.

I'd hate to sink another $200 into another hard drive for it seeing I only paid $600 for it (PII 233, 64MB). It has been a nice laptop though.

I don't know windoze well enough to know if a FAT32 error is necessarily a physical hd error, but I do know that physical hard drive errors are usually pretty persisnt- in most cases it's best just to get a new drive. Of course if it was just a software error I'm worrying you unnecessrily=-)

I'd suggest installing directX 7 at least.

Also get some up to date virus protection.
Norton utilities allows you to create backups of your FAT (I think) so if it goes pear shaped, you can recover.
