Now how insane is that?!
I get to the main menu on startup, or if I press Esc during the game, I have approximately 15 seconds of time before the whole computer locks up. It works fine while it works - I can noodle around the menus, set the settings, and the background music works fine. The game itself has worked splendidly (except for some horrible sound noises on some occasions) so far (I'm on part 1, chapter 4), but because of the lockup, every time I play I gotta get into the game real quick and do any menu selections (saving, loading, etc.) really fast. Not very comfortable...
My computer is a Compaq Presario 5670 (dang I hate Compaqs) PII 450MHz, 256MB with an Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 64MB 3D-card and an ESS Maestro sound card.
Any ideas??? Is it the sound card?
