524586 2007-02-14 03:06:00 Hi, I recently bought an upgrade pack, which came with an AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 4200+, MSI ATX Motherboard, 512MB Legend (PC3200) DDR 400 RAM Sapphire Radeon X1600 Pro 256MB PCI-E (globalpc.co.nz). I have now installed Battlefield 1942, but whenever I try and play it, I can load a game but pretty much as soon as it starts, the game freezes, sound continues (doesn't loop though) and nothing can be done except to crash it.

I have updated Battlefield to the latest version, as well as my ATI graphics drivers.

If it works fine it is the CPU issue so go to amd's website and download the latest driver for dual core processors. pctek (84)

524589 2007-02-14 04:33:00 The set affinity for one processor worked, thanks! I will get new drivers for it soon. And yes, I did re-install Windows, I couldn't get the hard drive to work until I reformatted. Gabpoll (7710)
