Good idea, I might get an extra £2.50 towards the upgrade budget lol! Thinking of: Athlon X2 6000 3 gig suitable new mobo 9800GT 512MB card 2 or maybe 4 gig of DDR2 ram 500 + watts PSU That's all the piggy bank will allow, hopefully should suffice  Er... that should be a pounds sign before the 2.50, don't know what happened there!

I'm guessing I'll need to spend some money when Arma2 comes out..... Athlon XP 2000+ limping along at 1.7 ghz, crappy old socket A mobo, 1 GB ram (old SDRAM) Nvidia 5500 FX 128MB AGP card, Ok, stop laughing, I really am running this doorstop PC. It even lags on solitaire

All sorted now guys, b*llocks new nvidia drivers caused it. Ended up reverting back to 56.64 and it runs fine although the colours are a bit dull but I can tinker those a bit. Cheers for the helpful hints. *Two, fall back into formation!* Jesus Berghoff, chill out I've just got it going again, gimmie a chance man! Thanks again guys. See ya, Jon.

Got a problem here. My GOTY edition used to run fine, but now I've done a clean reinstall of Windows Flashpoint freezes or crashes soon after starting. I gone from bemused to angry to depressed. Please can anyone help? System details: AMD Athlon processor running at 1200 Mhz (not clocked) 256 MB Ram Nvidia Geforce 5500FX 128 MB (Latest Drivers at 11/01/06) Via Chips (Latest Hyperion 4 in 1 Drivers) Windows 98SE DirectX version 9 Thanks, Jon.

Thanks heatseeker, I initially installed nvidia's 80 something driver from the website cos I seem to have lost the cd that came with the graphics card That driver didn't work so I scrubbed it and tried 77.72 with no success. Think I'll try that xtreme 81.98 next, if that doesn't do it I'll go back to and even older nvidia driver. Failing that it's a hike up a big hill and throw the tw*tting computer off the top and back over it a couple of times with the Jeep for good measure. I'll call back if I still have troubles. Thanks again dude. Jon.

No error msg seen, just either a complete lock up or crash out to desktop. Latest error report from single steal the car mission, if it helps.
