Hi, I have big problems of freezing. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
I don't understand to thing they could be due. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)
I have changed the components of the PC almost all, without resolve the problem.
After about 1 minute, sometimes also less, of I use AH, my monitor becomes a fine picture. @#à=?^§£&@# (censored) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/mad.gif)
The PC doesn't accept, no type of order, I am forced to reset.
Apart from the fact that this involves an impressive series of discos, and doesn't make certainly happy, those people that even stayed a fight with me. Sorry guys (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
My initial configuration was the following:
PIII 600, RAM 128 Mb, TNT2 Ultra, ISDN Modem, Joy MS FFB For, Mouse PS2, Keyboard.
In the attempt of make up for to the problem I have tried to change and I have verified the correct operation, of the: Processor, RAM, Card Video, Modem, Mouse, Keyboard, Joy, HD.
I have verified DirectX files, the Test say "no problem".
I have also tried to uninstall and re-install AH .
But the problem stays. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
I have not this problem, using EAW or CFS. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Before do I proceed to the re-format of the HD or in alternative take to hammered the PC, anybody has had this problem already and has been able to resolve it?
Sigh! Sigh! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Does it happen right when the sound starts. I mean, does your computer freeze as soon as you start the engine?
Can you give us some more information about the symptoms of the problem? Also, what version of Direct X are you using. You may want to try DX 7a.
Since someone else mentioned soundcards, do you have a soundblaster Live! card? Some people have had problems with them.

Thanks to all for the interst, here the last adjournment.
Ok, I have reformatted my HD and reinstalled the programs.
The problem is always the same. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/mad.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/mad.gif)
My monitor freezes after any minute.
Not black or white, simply, still image and sonorous in looping.
It is not a problem of my Hardware, is surely a conflict software, but I am not able to understand thing produce the problem.
Currently the PC is as shaped:
Mother B: Phoenix
Processor : AMD Athlon 500 Mhz
Memory: 128 Mb RAM
HD 8.7 Gb.
Card Video: Matrox Marvel G200 AGP 8Mb. - but usually I use a TNT 2 Ultra 32 Mb.
I have replaced it for verify if the problem derives from the video card, but is not as.
Sound Card is a Legacy FM 801 PCI, but i have also tested a SB AWE 64 -
O.S.: Win 98 S.E.
DirectX 7.0a (4.07.00.0716)
I have set the PC, in manner from don't have resident programs in memory, the only two resident programs to the start, are : Explorer and Systray
The last installed programs, are the critical adjournments published on the Microsoft Windows Update web site.
Any suggestion?

I have the problem, it is Online that Offline.
However, yesterday I have done an attempt, I have reinstalled, CFS, Falcon 4.0 and EAW.
I have also modified the setting out of my ISDN card, I have planned her like PSTN modem to 115200 Bps on analogical line.
I have tested the game Offline and I could have flown for around 20 min. without crash. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)
Or good, the crashes are of different type, they are less frequent and I don't lose the control of the PC, pressing Alt+ Tab or Alt+ Esc, return to Windows screen and I could stop the program with Ctrl+ Alt+ Del. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
The new symptoms are:
Screen all red. trying the B17 (Offline)
Screen blue sky(Like look at aloft), using the Panzer (Offline)
I don't have still had the opportunity to try Online. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
If it must work, the question becomes:
are a problem to the communication between my PC and the Server of AH? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)
Or, installing the other programs, do I have installed any *.dll that doesn't enter conflict with AH and even replaces what do create the problem? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)
The next steps are:
I cancel the Subdir "settings", reinstall the TNT2 Ultra, I try Online. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Cross the fingers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
