Help! I just got a Gateway AMD 1.2 w/256Mg Ram, Nvidia Geforce2 GTS Ultra graphics card.
DX7.1
Now RS,UO,CO will not play properly. They will play for a short time but then they lock up my system in the middle of a mission
requiring me to reboot.
Any suggestions? Or setting changes?

Are you overclocking your CPU at all? Also, what drivers are you using? I recommend using the latest Detonator drivers from www.nvidia.com. Are you noticing this in any other games. You also might want to upgrade to DX8

Thanks for the help.
What appears to have worked is DX8 with the Nvidia version .650 drivers (available from Gateway's site). The drivers on Nvidia's site are version .632. I also have the detail level set to high in RS options.
Thanks Again!
