Anoyd

Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys, the problem has been resolved, though not in the way you would expect. When I returned to his house later in the week, he had sold his PC :O While this means no more problems, it also means he is at my house playing on my PC all the time >:( Thanks again for your help, Anoyd

I've tried all the patches and nothings running in the background. I'll be at his house later this week and i'll attach the dxdiag, Cheers for your help Graham

Hi there, Been running Dune quite happily on my PC (Athlon 1.4, 256mb RAM, Geforce 4 MX under WinXP SP1) and my mate saw me playing it. The very next day he phoned me cos he was having problems - he'd bought it ;D. So i went to his house and he's running and almost identical configuration to mine, the differences being he has a Athlon XP 2400+, and a Riva TNT 2 M64. He doesn't use Norton and we used a clean install of windows when we built his PC a short while ago. I've read most of these this forum but haven't found anything, but anyway - the problem: The game loads, displays the intro, gives you the main menu, allows you to start a campaign, skirmish, tutorial etc, loads the selected game, allows you to start playing and then exits to the desktop after a random amount of time :'(. I've got all the updates for windows, and directx 9b. dxdiag checks out fine and so i turn to you. Anyone had the same problems? Let me know, Cheers Graham
