Hi Vikinger
Thanks for your advice.
I do indeed have a legit copy of XP
(though only with a recovery CD, no full version
), but the last time I tried to upgrade to SP2 something went wrong (and I don't know what), but it cost me a lot of sweat, swearing and almost tears
before I got my rig running again, so if I can avoid it (upgrading that is), I will.
Otherwise I must admit that I've been a bit sloppy and don't have the latest ATi-drivers etc. Though until now it has never given me a problem.
As a matter of fact, I thought I had solved the problem by taking out the RAM and videocard, clean the connectors and putting them back in. Because I've played GWX for several days without a problem.
Sadly, at one point the crew decided to ignore me and would not speak to me anymore
. Although other sound effects continued to work without a hitch.
I read about missing sound effects in another thread so I did a full uninstall and installed everything again, but sadly, the crew still would not speak to me.
But I was happy enough to finally play GWX, so I decided to ignore it. Until yesterday. Once more upon entering the conning tower (F4) the system crashed and rebooted.
So for now I've decided to put SH3 aside and maybe when I feel like it I'm going to try and solve my problems.
I'm just a bit disappointed (in my system that is), as GW1.1a worked perfectly.
When I feel like tackling this once more, I'll certainly try your advice Vikinger.
Regards,
Axel.
