ok lets see..
in which order is your expansion card insertet on your motherboard and which slots are used?
and how many exp slots do you have?
I asssume that your videocard is a AGP so that would be card #1 in slot #1
fill in the list::
Slot #1 = Videocard
Slot #2 = ?
Slot #3 = ?
Slot #4 = ?
etc

Slot #1-Leadtek Ti4200 GeForce 4 with 8X WinFast A280LE MyVivo
Slot #2-Open
Slot #3-Open
Slot #4-Soundblaster Live Value Sound Card
Slot #5-Linksys Network Card
Slot #6-Lucent WinModem
ISA Slot-Open
Do you have a dialup connection or broadband?
If youre not using the modem card then pull it out.
Try change the order to:
Code: Select all
Slot #1-Leadtek Ti4200 GeForce 4 with 8X WinFast A280LE MyVivo
Slot #2-Open
Slot #3-Linksys Network Card
Slot #4-Soundblaster Live Value Sound Card
Slot #5-Lucent WinModem
Slot #6-Open
ISA Slot-Open
The Modem might need to be in slot 6, it depends on which slots shares IRQ
Usually its 1/5, 2/6, 3, 4. but it can also be 1/6, 2/5.
Slot #2 cant be used while using the AGP port.
Boot your computer again and let windows reinstall the hardware (likely you will need to reboot again, stupid Windows LOL).
Check to see if the IRQ # has changed.
Most important is that the video and sound cards are on a IRQ of its own and all alone
report back with the results.

For some reason I think it is the patches that are causing the game crashes

does it still happen too often?
what IRQs are assigned to your card now?
do you run a live antivirus?
what driver version do you use for the videocard?
have you tried with less sound acceleration yet?
