Hmmm, I would say...NEVER

I've had this problem forever...tried everything possible, they just dont care bout us.. :confused:

reinstall/update directx mb?

Had this crash a few times as well, in addition to hard lock ups (which were only partially remedied by changing SLI to 1 card), and DEP crashes. Ridiculous.

Guys: I don't undertand this! I have WIN Vista 64 & all my drivers are up to date & I have NO ISSUES! I repeat...No issues!

Are you all updating everything? I mean your Motherboard Chipset Drivers etc.? I'm using the Atari USA version with the latest patch & I have had only one dropout in the last 5 months!

Specs:

Intel E8400 (3.0 GHz) not overclocked
4GB DDR2 800 RAM
ATI 4870 1GB Video Card (9.3 drivers) w/ slight overclock

When you guys unistall your video card drivers for a new update, are you using only the Windows/ATI/Nvidia uninstall tools? If so, you really need to use something like Driver Cleaner:

Yes...It's $10.00 for the program, but it really, really works! If I have no problems, then why are you? Maybe it's Nvidia-based problem? I'm not sure, only that I don't have any issues. I have to ask myself why is that?

This worked for me
 

I had the same problem but i just changed my desktop resolution from 1280x768 to 1024x768 to match the game's default resolution and ran it once in those settings now it works in any resolution hopes this helps you too. :-)

Awesome advice on the resolution change. Thank you very much. You saved me much frustration I only wish I had seen this sooner.
