Cardinal Fang Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Howdy, I am one of those that had trouble installing so perhaps that has something to do with my problem. I have the files that didn't load and everything seemed to be running all right until recently when I've had a couple of battles that just froze. Both times I've been clicking on a tank. What happens is the tank engine noise 'sticks' and starts repeating. The computer locks up including the keyboard. I have to hit the restart button to get it going. It doesn't happen in every game just the two so far. I know that makes it much harder to troubleshoot. Here's my system specs: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7VRX VIA KT333 CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000 Memory: 256MB Samsung PC-2700 DDRAM Video: Leadtek GeForce 4 MX-440 Audio: Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Hard Drive: 80GB IBM 7200RPM DVD/CD: Pioneer 16X DVD 117 OS: Windows XP Home Edition The computer is almost brand-spanking new. I bought it from ABS in August. I am currently downloading the latest drivers for the sound card although to be honest I'm not sure what the current version of driver I have. Thanks for any light anyone could shed on this.

In Thomas Goetz's case he said that the sounds continue and made no mention of a vehicle sound "stuttering". Also he mentions that he can still move his mouse cursor whereas in my case everything locks up. I've also played many games all the way through with no problem whatsoever. I don't think that temperature is a problem since I always keep my apartment cool (or freezing if you ask my girlfriend ) and the computer has two cooling fans in addition to the power supply fan. Perhaps I should go ahead and download one of those programs that tells you how hot your computer is running though. Thanks for taking the time to help! Have Comfy Chair.
