That's what's doing it.

I usually run about 1.5gb of ram being used by SH3, and that's not including everything else the computer needs to do.

Start shutting down services...

Anything you don't absolutely need should be (temporarily at least) disabled. You'll find the extra resources will go a long way toward 'ironing out' these kind of ills.

It's a pretty bare bones xp install, not much running when I checked the task manager.
Just mainly SH3 using 1.2GB and the video drivers using 64MB, about 14 other processes running using 10MB or less, mainly related to system or video/audio so I can't do anything about them.
Anyway, I found 2x512MB RAM sticks in the shed, installed them and then had to fiddle with the BIOS for windows XP 32 to detect 2.7GB RAM installed.
So going by what SH3 was using (1.2GB), I've got over 1GB headroom now, and I 'll see if it runs any better next time I have the time to play a patrol.

I've gone right into Dunkirk harbor during the evacuation and torpedoed ships with no crash before using GWX. It is the lack of ram that is doing it to you.
