Service Pack 2

[bond.carl]

I was wondring if i should `un-install` services pack 2 and install service pack 1 again. My game keeps freezing after aout 10 mins of play every time. Seems like ever since service pack 2, the performance of games has been downgraded a bit. Dont know why though.

Thanks for the help.

what is it then?

I got the latest drivers ofr my graph card
Latest drivers for my motherboard and sound card

My system specs are:

512mb Ram
2.4ghz Athlon
128mb Nvidia Geforce FX5200
Direct x 9.0c

No viruses or adware. So sp2 is all i could think off <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Bond.Carl, I have SP2 installed and I don't have any problems with Pirates! (Well, I always get captured on Swash level but that's not exactly technical... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />)

Service Pack 2 has not been reported as being an issue with SMP at this time.

It sure had William but then only before starting it, that means installing the game for the first time.

And just wanted to say and cheer some few words. If something crashes then as we all know it can be anything? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> From files to hardware from GC to drivers etc etc.

I hade a Abit- `NF7-S` motherboard once... And in my system files notes i hade alot i mean alot of resources IRQ conflicts... So whatever i did with my computer i hade crashes 24/7 From all the start for about 7 Months i thought it was my grapic card or Grapic drivers or my hard disk or Windows it self even the ram.

Well the computer worked and i could play time to time but the performence wasnt right and really not stabil... So one day i said.. i give up and call the support and send them the Mobo back to get a new one... And i was right after so many months of struggle the main core of problems was... That my mobo was damage allready from the start when i got it..

So if it's not your Hardware that is damage? Then we all have some files in Win or other drivers that bunch in into one another or something that isnt competible with one another? I believe there is always un solution for everything... it's just about how much we work upon it and how much time we spend on it.

7months it took for me and now i got a new brand error free motherboard with not even 1 singel IRQ conflict with any other hardware parts etc etc <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> So today we just might spot on drivers and files that arent working right.... but that is something we have to live with and solve it <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Pardon for my bad english and i just woke up over here and right now i have no idea what am writing about lol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Cheers and goodnight again!
