466871 2006-06-29 05:25:00 Thanks for your input, but let me clarify, I have only a dialup conection on my office os & that is fully protected. So it is impossible to be on line when I am on the gamer.
I doubt if this problem is intenet related.
Re memory, as Graham says "a suspect" & I will check is out.

466872 2006-06-29 05:43:00 The first time is was in V8 Supercars3 & the second in V8 Supercars2
I must add that have been just about right through GT Legends running at max settings without a problem & this is the hungryest game I have.
Some other system specs that may help:

HD Barracuda 7200.9 SATA NCQ 3GB/s
RAM A-Data Dual Channel 2x512MB DDR-SDRAM DIM DDR400
CPU AMD K8 Athlon64 3511+Socket 939 Venice Core
MB Foxcon NF4K8AC-8EKRS

Suspect hardware fault, trial and error.

466874 2006-06-29 09:36:00 Ran Memtest86+ & got zero errors. rocky138 (10636)
466875 2006-06-30 00:58:00 Your problem is an intermittent one. Try the memory tester next time it happens. ;)

Memory problems often occur at higher temperatures. The middle of winter is probably not the best time to find them. ;)

466876 2006-06-30 01:54:00 Thank you Graham, I will try that if/when it happens again.
What did you think of Rob99' solution?

466877 2006-06-30 02:05:00 I'm not sure about that. That file looks to be the sort of thing which is generated during a system installation. The default one on the CD might be OK to do an installation, but might not be what's needed for full use of your hardware. Executable files, and DLLs, yes. But configuration files are usually very installation-specific. Graham L (2)
466878 2006-06-30 02:16:00 Thats what I thought.
I have made a copy of the installed file as it is now & saved it for future reference.

466879 2006-06-30 03:29:00 Graham, for the record, if a box has a DHCP address to a router, NO o/s config is require by user, for the o/s to use that internet connection, hence my question. SolMiester (139)
