Randomly freezing

[Doktoor]

After playing for the past few days, I remembered why I stopped playing 2.5 yrs ago. My machine randomly freezes up while playing.

It was happening every 15 minutes in OT and less so in the old world. I freeze while moving around, not while zoning.

I DL'd and starting running in WinEQ and that helped some. I did the fix listed in the sticky that helped people crashing while zoning and I think that helped some too.

I can now play in the old world for about 2 to 3 hours before freezing. I have to completely hard boot my machine when it happens.

2.5 yrs ago, before I quit back then, I updated all my drivers. With a 6 year old machine, I'm not really interested in doing that again since it didn't work back then either.

Curiously, this happened to me on live too, exactly the same way, back in 2000. After months of screwing with my machine unsuccessfully, I ended up having to get a new machine in order to keep playing. (This is a different machine)

Specs, I really don't want to give bad info. I think there's a command you can run to see your specs so if someone would post that please I'll check it and paste what's on my box then. Again, it's a 6 year old machine and running XP, but I don't really remember what's in it.

Thanx in advance,

Dok
