Im Using windows home premium 32 bit

That the plunge can be caused by many things, install, how your computer is doing, etc. .. have you done a proper install?

or is there another way?

I thought "perhaps" in your graphic conditions and the Ram memory, and is patched right .... there are several potential scenarios...

I run SH4 on vista and it works just fine,just don't intrall it into the programs directory.,ie just install it anywhere on whatever drive you want but not in your main programs directory then just patch it up.

Welcome abroad, rickwa99.

First, did you install it directly to your C: drive?
Second, did you disable UAC (User Account Control)?
Third, are you running the install as Administrator?
Fourth, is your NVIDIA card a 256mb or 512mb model?
