Oh Yeah! I've got the very same problem. When I first got the game I had a P90 computer with SB16 sound card and a 4X speed CD ROM. After upgrading a year latter to a P200 Pro with 8X CDROM and a AWE 64 sound card, all I get now when trying to load the game is a GFI error and the computer locks up. However I don't think its the sound card or CDROM! Because I've since upgraded my P90 with an AWE32 sound card and an 8X CDROM and it played just fine... But to here technical support say there is no patch in sight to corrct this problem seems very typical. They've got there money why support it now!!!
