Game seizes up every 20 min. or so ? 05/29/2003, 11:14:37

ruby writes: I'm running in XP with sound and video acceleration turned off and no compatibility settings on. I'm using DirectX 9, which tests out 100%. I've tried the various compatibility settings to no avail. Commonly the game freezes when a) I'm running over a complicated landscape, or b) first going into an info screen (such as skills) mode. The computer is rendered frozen, even to ctrl-alt-del. Has anybody found this, and found a remedy? It could be some system process in particular that runs every so often.
