I haven't seen this problem posted but maybe I missed it. When using the editor to look at maps, after the third or fourth map, I get a black game screen. I can see the map in the view window in the lower R/H corner, but the map screen is black, mouse is frozen, can't even control-alt-delete. Have to hit the reset button and wait for scan disk to run since I didn't "do a normal shutdown". After rebooting, it will do OK for awhile, but after several map views it will hang again.
My system:
AMD 1.3 Athlon
512M memory
19 Gig HD with 16 Gig free
MX400 video Card
Sound Blaster 16 PCI card
Direct X 8.0
Windows 98 2nd Edition
I have a suspision that it is memory related. It seems to be worse when I have had the puter running for extended periods without rebooting
Any ideas, or has anyone else had this happen.
Thanks,
Rebelbug

Do you have other programs running in the background like antivirus, MS Office, ICQ's etc. Are you letting windows handling to virtual memory swap file? You system is more than powerful enough.
