Sorry it isn't there. I am using Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed. I
should have mentioned that earlier. I actually did get to fix my problem
however by uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and reinstalling an old set.
But the problem still exists. It seems as though all of my newer games
that I installed such and C&C Generals, Halo, and FarCry all freeze
intermintently. Old games though like Max Payne and Homeworld have no
problems.
