A great but maddining game

[Cajun5]

:|\\ I love this game but cant get it to run on my machine. I contaced securom and they said the game should run but it crashes to the desktop after a few minutes no matter what I do. I love this game but find it totally maddening to try to play. Anybody with any help would be appreciated? Thanks to all like me that love this game. Ive been playing since Silent Service all those years ago.

My machine: Dell Demension 4600 2.6 ghz

2 gh ram
Nivida 6600 Graphics Card

I still haven't gotten mine playable yet either so don't feel too bad.
I have a bunch of experience with Dell computers but need to know more about what you are running and how it's configured before I can be of any help.

My first inclination would be drivers, the second is heat issues. The 4600 also has onboard sound right? Try disabling that and see what you get. Post your service tag # and we'll go from there.

Old Dell Joke

:hmm: Hmmmmmm your specs look pretty good to run the game. My first thought is you videocard. Driver is updated? How about DX9? There is a newer version at MS update page on the web. Might want to start with these two items.

Dude! You shouldn't have bought a Dell!

Sorry, old tech joke.

1st Question: Are you using an LCD monitor?

2nd Question: What video settings are you using?

Lastly..
Post your dxdiag by: Start->Run-> and enter.. dxdiag .. (no periods)and 'ok' button.

It will run a bit.. click, 'Save All Information' and choose where you want to save it. Open it.. copy & paste to your reply here. Depending on limits, it might take a couple times. Or you can just host the file somewhere and link it.

If you need more details lemme know.
