Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 Crashing

[rallyfan1986]

Hi All,

I hope you can help...

About 10-15minutes into a skirmish the game either crashes to the desktop or the display freezes and sound keeps skipping.

Im running a fresh install of windows 7 (32bit) and the rest of my system is below.

I have all the latest drivers, and i have tried running the game on a clean install of win7 with just the wireless card installed.

Any ideas?

Cheers

When it crashes are there any blue screens with error code and driver cited? If so, what are they?

when it was crashing on xp sometimes a 'direct3d' error would come up with loads of lines of numbers.

but nothing on win7

Could try to run as windows XP if you have pro/ultimate.

already tried running it as xp sp2, and same thing.

I thought it might have been a software problem, but as ive tried it previously with xp, and now win7 and the same problem, im starting to think its a hardware problem.

Really annoying because its one of my favorite games!

'direct3d' error is a driver issue. Have you used something like Driver Sweeper to make sure all old vid driverss were removed before installing new ones?

[rallyfan1986]

its a clean install of win7, i formatted the c drive first, that should remove any old drivers shouldnt it?

i'll give it a go anyways

If that doesn't work try rolling back to a previous driver.
