When I run the game, either in software or hardware 640x480, the game constantly crashes. It is a random crash, and occurs about 5-10 minutes after I start playing. My mouse pointer stops moving, and the system stops responding, no error messages. I have tried everything that has been suggested on this board, unless I have missed something. I have also tried everything suggested by HP and Activision. Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. My system specs: Athlon 1.1ghz, 128megs of ram, GeForce2 GTS card with Detonator3 drivers, SB Live card with latest drivers, directX 8.0, and Windows ME. Here are the things I have tried that havent worked: reinstalled W&W, minmized all graphical features, tried different drivers for the graphics card. This has happened before and after the patch was installed.

I think your problem may be with the Windows ME. Running in software mode seems to lessen the problems -
I think slip posted on the site to which my tag line links some information for people having problems because of Win2000 or WinME - follow the link. Someone else who is far more knowledgeable in this should be along soon to give you some real help! Have you got the patch yet? Wyv |

Im running ME with no problems also soundblaster live graphics card is a savge 4 and only software mode is stable. Have been several posts about GeForce cards but as you have tried different drivers this may not be the problem. All I can suggest is turn off all TSRs and ensure you have a large swap file on C:

I updated the video drivers of my NVidia TNT2 card to the detonator3, and had exactly the same problem. Do you have/can you get older drivers? That might solve your problem (it solved mine).

exactly my symptoms there - inexplicable freezing about 10 minutes into game. I'm going to try software mode. I've tried everything else.
