This is a problem with the intereaction of your motherboard chipset, the graphics card in question, and win2k. I actually have the same problem. There are patches from MS that let you play longer, but you still eventually crash. Evidentially MS got the timing all wrong on the agp port with VIA chipsets and the problem is extremely evident with the Geforce 2.<p>The absolute fix is windows XP unfortunately. Buy it when it comes out, MS seems to have gotten it right this time. I did beta testing and the problem went away in thier last beta http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Woohoo!<p>Hope that helps you.
