NROS - Screen Freezes

Bill: I found two things on my computer that were causing screen cramps. One was Norton antivirus. The other was a tcp/ip connection to my other computer.... I switched my home network to run netbuei, and that took care of the screen cramps.

I had same problem just playing regular game. I uninstalled MAGNARAM and the problem went away. I guess MAGNARAM was swapping between the harddrive and memory causing the screen freezes.Hope this helps.

I had this happen as well...I figured it out. My hard drive spins down after a period of inactivity ( a Green energy saving feature). If a computer graphic was needed for a yellow flag or accident and the hard drive was asleep, the screen would freeze and then I would hear the hard drive spin back on and after 2-3 sec the screen would be OK. Just a thought...you can fix this problem by going into CMOS and changing the settings. >I'm having a problem with NROS and I'm looking for some suggestions.
