Freeze pending game loading

[Castellon]

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
4) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.

The thing is your Dxdiag says you have not.
You are running 32bit color and your video card driver is out of date.

I ran game in 16bit color and nothing happened.
And for the video card driver, I found it directly on the ati web site. Just for information, where do you see that I haven't an up-to-date driver ?

Well the idea was not to try things one at a time in isolation rather all together continously, As for your driver, it is only logical that in this climate a driver from more than 4 months ago is out of date.

In fact I just checked for you, and for your card the latest driver is April 7th.

About three days ago.

Also you do not have the latest windows drivers installed either.

However if you whant to try an end run around everything, try reducing your sound card acceleration to the lowest setting, then if it works try bumping it up a notch at a time until it does not.

You can also try renaming the music folder to Music_bak.

If you read the thread you would see he has the latest driver for audio.
You would also see I have mentioned the windows drivers.

Many people do not wish to install SP2 since they feel it creates more problems than it solves.

The tech support forum is not like other forums, please do not post in here unless you genuinely have something new to add. Spaming is harshly punished in here.

Try adjusting the acceleration as I mentioned, that way you might be able to have the music back on.
