| 255137 | 2004-07-26 12:23:00 | I don’t really know, lol, it has happened for a long time, I have just got sick of it lately so I thought I would try and resolve it, I think it may be RAM, but I can play battlefield for ages, when it freezes is when it is loading, same with C&C Generals. That is not the same with Sim City though, it just decides to freeze. I am not sure if this helps but I found in Sim City if I save it every say 10 mins it seems to be ok, then I forgot to save and it froze........ | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 255138 | 2004-07-26 16:04:00 | Well, it appears that Murphy's law is active in your neck of the woods alright, 0r Sod's law or - - Regardless of the law's name , it appears to be a bit maliciously applied in your case. It is quite odd that it should be sensitive to both the success you are having, and the time since you saved - maybe it's an exorcist you need :-) |

| 255139 | 2004-07-26 21:05:00 | add more ram try new graphics card or drivers last resort reformat the thing | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 255140 | 2004-07-26 23:55:00 | This PC is just way under powered for those games mate. As said above more ram and a better graphics card. I would put 512mb of ram at least in it and a cheap GF4 mx. probably get one of those for about $70. ram would be a bit more expensive. | valiantnz (1709) | ||
| 255141 | 2004-07-27 00:01:00 | also is your hard drive to full. Windows likes some room left on the hard drives. C&C generals and BF1942 both ran OK on my xp1800 and gf3ti500 with 512mb ram. And I mean only OK, so those system specs of yours really need to be upgraded. If it used to run OK but not now then I would say your windows install is getting old and a fresh install would certainly help. But that sux the big kahuna and then you have to reinstall everything which can go on and on and on. Good luck | valiantnz (1709) | ||
| 255142 | 2004-07-30 07:46:00 | That leeds on to another problem :'( I tried to reformat my harddrive over the school holidays using HP recovery, It saud Insert CD ROM into CD ROM Drive Shut down you PC Wait 30 sec Turn on you PC Follow instructions HA!
