The game runs fine for about two days, or five missions, which-ever comes first.
Then it gets choppy, for one mission.
Then, poof. It crashes, flashes, bangs, and booms.
No More Game, No More Windows, No More Nothing.

Computer Specs;
EMachines Model W1700 Running Windows XP Home Edition;
AMD XP Athlon 1.47 Gh Processor, 512MB DDR 2100 RAM, XFX GeForce 4 MX-440-SE 64MB DDR 2100 RAM Onboard--running Old(Shipped-With) Drivers, Onboard Audio, DirectX 8.1 shipped with Video Drivers.
SOYO piece-to-gether Running Windows 98 Second Edition;
AMD XP Athlon 1.47 Gh Processor, 256MB DDR 2100 RAM, XFX GeForce 4 MX-440-SE 64MB DDR 2100 RAM Onboard--running new(Downloaded, from official site) Drivers, C-Media Sound Card, DirectX 9 or Latest.
More Specs available upon Request, if needed.

If the video drivers are the problem, then whats up, here?

The Demo, from the Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Game of The Year Edition Disc, works fine.

I was told it may be the screen resolution--'run the game in 640x480, with 16bit colors'--but this did no good, either. Not to even mention the fact that XP does not even SUPPORT that low of a resolution.

Any Help Would Be Much Appreciated. Several Sleepless Nights Have Gone Into Self-Help Attempts...To No Avail.

Thanks In Advance, To Anyone An' Everyone.

Very strange problem... I'm stumped.

All I can say is get the latest Nvidia video card drivers, (or the latest stable certified ones) and try updating your motherboards chipsets - especially if you have Via motherboard chipsets. #### VIA I am never buying anything with that #### it in anymore, more problems than they are worth.

Thanks. Shall try it. Seems the 98-runner is an ALi motherboard, and I haven't yet checked the XP-runner. Will check and double check, then return with gathered information, and information of my trials with the various updates. Thanks, again. I Shall Return.

Just one more point - it could be a "faulty" graphics card too. The memory module may be damaged on it. Jsut coz one game works, and this doesn't - well maybe the same memory points are not being referenced.... try switching cards from your two systems and see what happens... GL!

One Up, One To Go. Making good use of CD-RW abilities of both computers, I downloaded the updated Windows XP XFX GeForce 4 MX-440-SE drivers, then loaded them on the XP-Runner. All is Well with that computer, now. Man, I'm GLAD that CD's can pretty much convert FAT/FAT32 into NTFS or any other way around. As for the 98-Runner, I'm checking for the NVIDIA drivers, of one sort or another. Checked the video cards themeselves, and I still have the same problem with the 98-Runner, so, I'll proceed on and check the drivers over again. Can't figure out what the motherboard in the XP-Runner is. But, since that machine is up and running, I suppose its rather irrelevant, now, hm? Guess my Luck is on a rise? Thank you all.

After a long period of only being able to play 5 mins of SOFII i installed a further 512mb of ram(on top of 256mb) and turned the in game screen resolution up! The game played fine well past the the point it usually crashes. To be sure i uninstalled and re-installed the game and changed only the screen resolution. Sure enough c++ runtime error, over and over. Then after a week of calming down I installed the full gold patch( which i have done twice before with no success ), the game played fine and looks much better. i still had some "flickering" in the first level but no error. Essentially i cant tell you what actually fixed the problem, but i can tell you i didnt change any drivers at the time the game decided to work. Thanks to everyone for your advice.

Just on a side note, data CD's have their own special file table which isn't FAT or NTFS. Its some kind of standard - which is a good thing. Otherwise other OS's couldn't figure out how to read the CDs. DVD's have their own formats too ( which is the whole deal behind 'Get a DVD player that supports the most Formats' ) If I screwed this information up someone slap me

DVD's are just have regions, and thats in order to stop people buying abroad from real cheap places... so you buy a reader that can read all regions.
