Brief History:-
My PC worked fine. I buy a new game, Rally Sport Challenge.
It plays then crashes. I figure I need a Sound Blaster card.
I Bought one, Installed it and hey presto.. Problem fixed.
Days later I went to play Favourite my game (empire Earth), this plays for a while then crashes, either to desk top or to a system reboot.
Various people suggest that it is a driver issue.
So I down load the latest drivers installed them. Still no good. I try using XP's Compatability mode, still no good, I also tried formatting pc no good.
I rang the tech support line. After some suggestions (drivers etc) they gave up as the game is not listed as XP compatable on the box.
To my mind it had worked, so it should work. any ideas. This is very frustrating.
Latest attempt resulted in a memory error, some thing like tried writing to oxobf67400 and failed?
Things seem to be going from bad to worse.
