games crashes with sound looping and blank screen

[tommcd64]

I can't get past about a minute in the games. I have had to set the video very low because it runs slow. Less than a minute into the game at various points the sound starts looping and the screen goes black and I have to reboot. Here are my specs and driver versions:
Windows XP Pro w/ SP1
Athlon 2800 Barton w/ 1.5GB PC2700 RAM
SB Audigy gamer with latest drivers posted from Creative Labs
NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB 4x AGP with drivers 52.16
30GB of free space.

I got rid of my video card and bought an ati 9800 pro it works great now.

I had (Have) the same issue, I think. The sound kind of loops three times, and then the video may unfreeze for a moment?

I also have a geforce 4200. I looked for solutions everywhere and the only one I found that seemed to work was to change the anisotropic filter settings from "Application controlled" to 2x.

This allowed the game to work normally until I got to the Trier level, and now it is happening again--- So if you find a better or total solution, please let me know!!! Tech support seems to think it is related to the soundcard drivers...:rolleyes:

Love the game, just want to finish it now. Hope this helps.
