In running gpl in Windows XP, can anyone tell me how to eliminate the
repeated video pauses every 2-3 seconds. I heard it might be a sound
card/driver problem. I just auto-downloaded the latest creative drivers for
the Soundblaster Audigy Platinum sound card, which is my sound hardware.
I'm running a Athlon 2100 processor and a VGA PNY Verto Graphics Card GF4
TI4600 with 128 Mb memory. This is all part of my ABS system, purchased in
ay of 2002.

Any help with solving this problem is greatly appreciated.

It think it may be your Audigy card, if it is a Audigy1 as opposed to the
Audigy2. I had the same problems when i had a Soundblaster Live card,
upgraded to a Audigy2 card and had no more problems. It's what fixed it for
me so thats the only help i can offer sorry apart from turning off any
services you don't need/use in XP.

No problems here with XP Pro and an original Audigy.

I have an Audigy and had similar problems with N2003 when I upgraded to XP
(micro-freezes) and they went away when I flasehd my Motherboard BIOS to the
latest release.

Good Luck

It might not be a GPL problem,
it may very well be a problem with your PC. Namely, something running in the
background that tries accessing the harddrive or taking a lot of CPU every
few seconds for something.

Possibly virus software, etc.

That stuff is really common..

I also remember a long time ago, CMR2 would hiccup exactly every 10 seconds,
and the HD light would go on. I tracked it down to having old video card
drivers still on from before I upgraded my video card. Once those got
uninstalled, it stopped. They were probably checking to see where the ***
its video card was..

May not be your soundcard.Try disabling your card in Device Manager and
running GPL without sound.Any pauses?
If it still pauses try and watch your hard drive access led while
driving(dont' crash..:-) ).Maybe increase your Page file size.
If it doesn't pause, sound is the problem.You could try different levels of
Hardware Acceleration.Click on DXdiag.exe.Somewhere on the Sound tab in
DirectX

May well be the Vid drivers/vid card combo problems...

I wonder if Wayne ever checks this thread...

2nd XP did it to me again this week, I reinstalled the 41.09's a week ago,
after testing the latest ones out with XP's SP2... The new version of
XPupdate apparently convinced my other half to install the new drivers, GPL
went lame, the Demo almost was ok, bu the NR03 with every mod out, wouldnt
even hardly load.... So last night once again I loaded the older drivers,
the 45.xx drivers worked nicely again with NR & GPL...

I hate the new drivers, rs (latest ones) for the older (4 or earlier) cards.
I guess maybe there's some settings I sould make sure ore NOT enabled, for
my particular card by default with the new drivers... I will check when the
season is over maybe...
