Lock-ups vary from desktop drops to soft locks (ctrl-alt-del works) to hard locks (nothing works). Random places.

This is the only game Im experiencing trouble with. I currently play: Operation Flashpoint, Ghost Recon, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Half-Life (all mods), Gothic, Pool of Radiance: RTMD, I could go on... All without any trouble.

I also moderate forums for a few games, helping people figure out whats wrong with their systems. I am A+ Certified, and a MCSE. Unless there is some tewak for XP-P, or the game isn't compatable with XP-P, Im stumped.

My opinion: Its the game, or possibly the Game Theater XP.. But, since other games work fine, I would tend to believe its the game.

Game looks great, BTW...
