RE: Random CTD

Sorry no other PC availible except my company laptop. That has too much snoop ware for me to try running the game. They will know. I will see what I can do as we might be able to rule out defective disc at least. BTW I am correct that this game runs w/out the disc in the drive.

RE: Random CTD

<t> Yes I know that I appear to be the only with this issue. Any of you guys running anti virus/ firewall. i normally shut it down when i play games offline.

RE: Random CTD

<t> SECROM is an anti-piracy software that many games have as part of the installation. It is a disc checking software of a nasty nature. It can mess up your CD/DVD rom auto play function. It is like a rootkit and installs, in a directory that you can not see in Windows, and is never removed when ...

RE: Random CTD

<t> I have tried different game scenarios 1940 & 1941 as well as using just patch 1.21 and no luck. I have checked for better drivers for my onboard sound and can not find any. I also checked Windows update for Directx updates and nothing new. There is an update for my CPU which I have not installed ...

RE: Random CTD

<t> No luck w/out any patch. What was this patch 1.215 that came out to fix crashes? I believe that I have all three patches. Does 1.30 include the changes from 1.215? It is not listed in the readme? <br/>

RE: Random CTD

<t> Changing video drivers did not change anything. I suppose I should have written down everything in the error message before I sent it on? Know a way to save those messages if I get another? I like the design of this game, but I am concerned because I do not see other people complaining about ...

RE: Random CTD

<t> Why are you suggesting drivers and SP3? The game came out before either of these updates. I will install the video drivers but I prefer to keep my machine at SP2 because of some of the annoying things Microsoft is doing particularly with Netframework. Here is the last save game before the most ...

<t> Yes. The game froze. No key board commands work. I could not move the location of my mouse. Occassionally when I get this crash I will hear music frozen in a loop. I have to press the reset button on my computer and reset my whole system to get out of this freeze. I have done clean install 3 ...
