| 135847 | 2003-04-15 00:40:00 | I can play for about 5 to 20 sec and then the dam thing freezes for about 20 to 30 sec then comes right. Then it dose it all over again. If I do Ctrl, Alt, Delete my task manager shows the CPU running at 100%. I have not changed anything in the way of hardware. I have tried uninstalling and then instilling the VGA driver and also directx. I have not had the games on the computer for some time i just put them back on yesterday. |

| 135854 | 2003-04-15 02:41:00 | Should not the CPU be at 100%? I thought most games try to use all the CPU cycles?..I could be wrong...as I often am...:p | promethius (1998) | ||
| 135855 | 2003-04-15 02:44:00 | Ok I will try that. I was just looking at directx diagnostic tool and cpu started running at 100% but when i clicked on it to move the window it would drop down to 2%?????? | mattnu1 (3602) | ||
