Game freezes from the start 08/06/2010, 22:47:51

Oldtymer writes: As soon as I begin a new game, the display freezes up It will eventually allow me to turn or move for a second or two, and then it locks up again for 15-30 sec. (The game clock will have advanced several minutes each time it allows me a short burst of movement) I've patched the game using v1.2 and v1.3 before I started. Graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce MX2 400, on WinXP. (Older system, but has always worked great until now) I suspect this has something to do with the 3D graphics, but I cannot find anything which shows how to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance
