Just getting into TOAW III, I've had two lock ups in two days.

1) Finishing Arracourt 44, I select File->Exit, then press Close on the pop-up menu. Result: game locks up solid instead of exiting. Not the worst of moments but anyway...

2) Starting Road to Rimini, having finish the very first combat round, I select Inventory and replacement list. I keep the cursor pressed on the down arrow. As the list hits the bottom, the game area (map + side panel) goes black, and game locks up. Cursor is the hourglass, and CPU is at 100%. However, when I finally right click on the TOAW icon in the Windows Taskbar (in order to select Close) TOAW springs back to life, and I am able to continue.

Using TOAW 3.0.0.17, XP Pro all patched up, PC above requirements, etc.

Haven't tried the nosound option so far, but will give it a go (but I actually like the sound effects).

Any ideas, or similar experiences???


[Come to think of it, when I got the game I played the Korea scenario a number of times, and didn't see any problems - can't remember if that was the 3.0.0.14 or the unpatched (3.0.0.12?) version.]

Sorry this slipped under the radar. Please post your dxdiag log here. See this thread http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1150832 for instructions. Thanks.

Here's the dxdiag info. To the best of my knowledge all drivers and BIOS are the newest versions, the one exception being the nvidia driver, which I haven't updated since HL2. Probably should bite the bullet and update and see if it changes anything. In the meantime I have played the same two scenarios a number of times with the nosound option and haven't seen any problems whatsoever (and getting to enjoy the silence ).

Just a brief update: After updating the Nvidia driver from 66.93 to 91.47 (the newest), I haven't seen any lock ups. Hoping this is the solution but will post more if I see the problem again
