ok guys, here's a tech's experience...
im also having the same problem. i've owned the game since a week after it came out, played like hell for a good few months, then shelved it.
im getting back into it, needed to reinstall it, but now am getting this problem.
same os - winxp pro (sp1 has come out since i last played, as has dx9, and im running both - these are the only os changes)
same pc, with one exception - i was using an nvidia gf3ti500 b4, ive since upgraded and now am running an ati 9500 pro.
this pretty much rules out the hw - changing vid cards i doubt would cause this (cant be certain, said gf3ti500 fried, hence the upgrade)
Im thinking sp1 or dx9 - im gonna go get dx9b now and see if that helps.
