Alliedassault - View Single Post - Frequent Lock-ups

Whenever I start a game in either Allied Assault or Spearhead, the game crashes after a couple minutes (Fatally - I have to reboot). It happens in both Singleplay and Online games. It happens after the loading process, 1-3 minutes after I've already been actually playing. I have the 2.11 Spearhead patch (but I had the problem also with 2.00), and I run the game at 1024x768x16 with Bilinear filtering, no texture compression, 16 bit detail, and default everything else.

This started only when I installed the games two days ago after a hard drive reformat (which would make you think I'd be free of problems). Before the format, neither game had this problem.

I have a GeForce2 MX (with 900MHz Thunderbird and 256mb PC-133) and I'm running Windows 98SE. I haven't found this to be affecting other games so far, but I haven't yet tried any other Quake 3 engine games.

I don't want to get stuck doing a second HD format in a week. :) Anybody know how to fix this?
