[config]

I have Windows XP Professional. I am using an ATI All In Wonder Radeon 7200 (soon replacing with a Hercules 3D Prophet III GeForce3 Titanium 64MB 200) with a SOYO K7VTA Pro motherboard with an AMD 1.43ghz processor. I tried the compatibility mode, but I don't see why it would help if the game runs fine anyway.

Initially, every time I tried to play the game, it would run for about 5 minutes max, and then freeze my system. I tried everything, reinstalling drivers, turning down hardware acceleration...I reghosted my system with the image I made when I installed XP for the first time, ran the Windows Update (specifically the Creative Labs driver update) and it worked fine from then on.
