Game crashes when initializing world

[Tyfa]

Hi,
I am attempting to run PS in OpenGL mode. I successfully created  a character but when I try to connect there is a long delay when initializing the world, then after about 5 minutes the game crashes. I am aware of the lightning problem that causes the delay but did not see anything in the FAQ about the game crashing. I have tried it 3 times in both OpenGL and Safe mode. I also changed the properties on the .exe to WinME/98 but it did not help. I am running the game on a 700Mhz, 128MB Compaq with a GeForce4 video card. I could not find the minimum hardware requirements for the game on the website. Please help, thanks

Have you tried running the Updater program? I\'ve heard doing so frequently fixes this problem.

I just tried running the updater and ran the game again in OpenGL mode. It still crashes at the same spot.

Okay, let\'s see... make sure you\'ve got the latest drivers for your GeForce.

If drivers arn\'t the problem, this is out of my league.
