CTD, CTD and one more CTD

[AVGWarhawk]

Upon scanning the forums and making a mental collection of CTD issues since release, lets knock out the known CTD:

'A' key for sure CTD
Stadimeter (not always)

The next number one issue I have found is sound and sound cards. Reduce acceleration.

Reinstall the game as Neal offered. This seems to take care of some issues.

Fear not. Looks like a hardware conflict. Just need to iron it out. I have had 3 CTD in 35 hours of play.

1. 'A' key...I hit it by accident when I was supposed to hit the TAB key.
2. Refit at port and upon starting my 3D wake was gone, I went to use the stadimeter and CTD. Reloaded at the port autosave and have had not issues since.
3. CTD for no apparent reason other than a large convoy in extremely bad weather. I think the computer was just getting asked to much. More likely I found downloaded Nickalodeon games and crap from my kids. I cleaned that up and defragged. No issues since.

My set up:
AMD 64 3200+
1 gig RAM
Radeon X1300 XGE 512mb
Onboard sound.

All sliders in game at 1/2 or better. Most other boxes check with exception of EE....the fog kills my FPS.
