I'm experiencing annoying random screen dropouts with EU2 with Win2K/Geforce MX, that are driving me mad.
Somtimes 5, sometimes 20 times per minutes the screen goes for a fraction of second black! I had this feature sometimes with EU1 but not that often. I know that these problems had been reported for EU1 some time ago in this forum.
First I thought that is caused by my monitor, maybe problems with the resolution and the frequenzy but i tried different resolutions/frequencies without any remarkable success.
It has to do with my machine, as I tried it on another win2k computer at work without any problems.
So I tried differnt drivers and different BIOS settings but nothing helped.
Then I deactivated my network connection (small home LAN) and the dropouts vanished. Looks like some ressource conflict caused by the network controller, but they all seem to be distributed fine. And of course the computer runs with all my other games and apps fine and very stable with the network connection being active.
As this problem has been reported for EU1 too, this seems to be an issue that is not limited to my computer alone...
So Anyone out there with the same problems or any idea?

This is what i'm doing, but i have to stand my girfriens whinings, as she is using my computer as a fileserver and internet router.)
