[Help my screen locks up !!!!!!!!!!]

Well, well, I've actually successfully managed to complete 2 games this morning with no lock ups whatsoever!!!!! (Could this be a record; lets hope not!!!)

I don't want to be tempting fate; but thanks for the advice guys!!!!!!!!!

It appears that the bios fix and the 4 in 1 driver, must have done the trick.

[Help my screen locks up !!!!!!!!!!]

The game crash again, even with the sound turn off.

This time just after I'd completed placing my units and just both press "go".

This is real annoying to say the least!!!!!!!

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Help my screen locks up !!!!!!!!!!]

I have upgraded my sound card driver to:

5.12.1.3035 (dated 24/09/01.

I did find what aooear to be a newer driver but it wouldn't insatll!!!!

In answer to your question the model no. is 5146EA.

The processor is 1.3GHZ (Athlon)

As for the motherboard; I don't know.

I've tried the Compaq website, not much use really. Any suggestions?

I'll try this soundcard driver to see if I get much luck.

Can anyone help?

I have a full retail version of Beyond Overlord and I have also recently downloaded the Combat Mission 2 demo (Barbarbossa).

Whilst playing the game (either one) after a period of time (varies in length) the screen locks up!!!!!

The screen freezes and the sound can be heard suttering.

The only solution is to turn the computer off; Ctrl + Alt+ Del, fails to do anything.

The game prior to the lock up, works wonderfully with no graphic or sound corruption evident.

There is no conflict with any of software or hardware evidnet either.
