Game keeps crashing to desktop after trying different sltns

Hey there,
BF1942 keeps crashing to my desktop on non specific points,
sometimes in the game menu, sometimes while loading, and very often while playing the game (somethimes i can play an hour before this happens but mostly only a few minutes). This is really irritating me so i hope you have an solution for me.

I've already tried:
-Hardware accelerated sound
-compalibilty modes (win 95, 98/ME)
-Reinstalled it, and patched it several times
-something with the framerate ( from 0 to 1 in some con file)

Running windows XP (as you already assumed

)
Cant be my system though game runs fine, if it runs...

Try relaxing some memory timings if you can. I know on my rig if I push my memory to hard, BF will tend to do the same as what you get. But usually bout 10 mins into game. Once I relax mem timings I don't get problems. Sometimes after ~4 hrs it will CTD on me, but not often.

I tried to close all other running programms but no succes...
I have 512MB DDR so that must be enough to run bf,
but what do you do to 'relax' your memory?

Look in your bios for memory settings. Cas Latency and the like. If your Cas Latency is at 2, try 3. Look for other options such as Bank interleave, Precharge to active (Trp) and similar. Higher settings (3T opposed to 2T) would denote less aggresive memory timings, excepting Bank interleave where lower (disabled as opposed to 4) would denote less aggresive settings.Confused yet? Have a look in your manual or there are a few good bios help sites out there(do a search). But it all depends on what ur bios will let you do.Hope this helps.[/url]
