Fixing this problem is critical. Being able to save/load a game is a necessity when one does not have the free time to complete a patrol in one sitting.

Some of your problem may be in your RAM? Win XP does not like 4 Gigs of random access memory and will cause conflicks. Take out one gig and then see what happens.
You want 4 gigs Ram ( or more ) change over to Vista. |
Windows XP Home Edition does have an issue with too much RAM, which I was aware of. Under Start>My Computer> Properties, Windows will only recognize that my system has 3.25 Gb of RAM. However, it has never caused any problems. Windows XP Home does not recommend using more than 3 Gb. Again, I've never had an issue with the 4 Gb in the past.
All that being said, I removed 2 Gb of RAM (they work in pairs) and I am still having an issue re-loading saved games. Which I am somewhat happy about, as I need more than 2 Gb of RAM to enable my video card SLI configuration. If scaling back to 2 Gb had worked, I'd have had a little dilemma on my hands.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I appreciate it.
