Not going well, helpful suggestions welcome...

I uninstalled and did a fresh install. Applied both patches and started a career.
I'm my way to a photo recon mission in Osaka Bay.
Just off the Japanese coast I get a contact for a lone merchant.
I set myself into the perfect position. All engines stopped. Clear sky.
Here he comes... I track him for a while. When he gets with about 3000 yrds I start to input some data into the TDC. All looking good.
Calm seas, twilight. Nice.

I glance down to work out the AoB on a slip of paper and the sound my stops.
I look up. Game locked. Frozen. Reboot.

I've been very patient but I think I've just about had it.

I've reinstalled the appropriate AMD patches. My bIOS is up-to-date. The graphics and sound card drivers are both the most current versions.

My PC is a good rig. I don't have problems like this with any other game.

AMD 64 4800+
4 GIG RAM
ATI X1800xt
Creative X-FI
WinXP

Any suggestions are welcome.
