At the beginning of the game, right after I get my change of clothes and go to the dock, the game blue screens when I get near the dock. It always happens there, but if I avoid that area it will eventually happen anyway...randomly.

System specs:

P4 2.26GHz
1GB RAM
GeForce 4200TI AGP 4x 128MB
10GB HDD free
Integrated audio on Intel motherboard

Troubleshooting steps to date:

1) Disabled Anti-virus
2) Upgraded GeForce drivers
3) Uninstalled game, deleted all registry keys, etc...reinstalled
4) Cut back on hardware acceleration
5) Uninstalled XP SP2
6) Rolled back GeForce drivers to various past releases
7) Removed video drivers, reinstalled.
8) Exchanged game for new copy, reinstalled.
9) Installed graphics patch
10) All audio/chipset drivers are up-to-date, no other programs are running in background.


When the game is running, everything is fine. Audio/Graphics are all normal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jason
 
try downloading a save game file and loading that
 
fixed it

Thanks for the advice, but after viewing the dump log closely....it was telling me my smsens.sys file was the problem. This file was part of my audio driver. SoundMax integrated audio on my Intel motherboard. D845EBG.

I reinstalled the driver and all is well now. :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
