game hangs after loading 90%

Jesus i would get a nervous brakedown if i would have to wait longer then 5 min. for loading the game. NYGM takes 3min and GWX 4min loading a saved game average plus 30s if im in a convoy/harbor. One reason for this speed might be that i have 6 GB RAM and a 8800gtx installed enough for any smod to run it without virtual RAM.

When i still had xp and only 1.5 gigs using a 2ndairy HD for virtual ram i noticed that during the loading procedures of WAC which requires 2.34GB RAM the game accessed this extra HD to perhaps load or write parts of game from/to there.

My processor is a 1.8 AMD Turion 64 Mobile
2 meg of Ram,
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series with 128 megs.
Running XP Media edition.

Shutting down nothing?
I load in just under 5 minute.

mm, yes, my specs are similar to Danlisa and the game takes about a fat five mins to load. I have had troubles and delayed loading in the past - but nothing like as long as 42 mins ( gosh!). I too think the system might need an overhaul. Does event viewer give you any clues I wonder?

The biggest speed up I got?
I dumped anything to do with Norton!!
What a load of worthless system Hogging!!
Then they want money every year!!

Bye Bye!!

You have a sure point about Norton. It is a huge system hog.
AVG (and it's even available absolutely Free!), is the only way to go!

AVG is clean, fast, comprehensive, and very update responsive.
And you can't go wrong with CCleaner, for the other end of things.

Have you tried JK Defrag? I have it on my 2 machines & I find that it works much better than the built-in Windows defragmenter. It's available here: http://kessels.com/JkDefrag/index.html if you're interested.
