this is just a wild guess, but, you COULD try hitting ctrl+alt+del, then going to the processes, or if it already lists them, end explorer.exe while the game is at main screen? i do that when playing battlefield 1942 cause explorer takes up 50 to 90% of memory for some wild reason, leaving me game in lag world! of course i have winxp w/ top pc enough ram+memory to play it great, but it only works when explorer it closed. this is just a wild guess and you cant accuse me for direct indirect or any kind of direct damage done to your pc/ by doing this you agree to these terms.

im a lil paranoid
