New purchase of EE, help needed to stop crashes in XP
Hi, I have the EE and have it all installed and patched. Attached the PC wizard file and have the latest sound/graphics drivers installed. My system meets the specs and is as follows (attched file for more detail :The Witcher EE patched from retail diskWindows XP SP22048 corsair paired memoryAMD Athlon 64 4000+Nvidia GeForce 7600 GTMain drive defragged last night with Diskeeper, applied the 'hotfix' and have tried many different resolutions (although of course the one I need/want isn't supported) but I keep getting crashes and lockups. I seem to have stabilised the game a little and the main area for crashes seems to be the inventory/map/quest etc screens when the system freezes and sound/pointer goes leaving only a reboot to get back up and running. Keyboard stops functioning etc. I've tried loads of different settings for the resolution and tweaked the advanced settings but it seems to lock-up and crash whatever I do there. I've tried several slightly older graphics and sound drivers, all do nothing to help.Any ideas that might help me? I really wouldn't mind getting past 5 minutes play without it crashing, thanks! :-\/edit:Forgot to mention, after reading tons on here I pumped up my Pagefile size, still no joy from that 'fix'/edit:Also just tried reinstalling the game, more setting/resolution combinations and disabling write cache on HD but none of those make any difference at all seriously, what planet to people who release software like this come from? So many issues on so many systems on what looks like an otherwise great game. Such a shame.Anyone able to help or point me to the soundfile fix? Whatever that is...*sigh* reminds me why I bought an Xbox 360 this, not good.[MOD]Use the MODIFY button[/MOD]
