Bet you can't jump as high as I am.
The game disk is no longer vulnerable to damage, everything seems fine so far, there is still the sound hiccup at game load up, but that disappears once the data bases are loaded. It also seems to be less intrusive the larger your ~\Downloads folder is.
I run my game with Sarah's "merged 'hood", chock a block full of hacks and mods, once I had found the conflict in the weather system,
IT CAME GOOD.
Roxy, it sure sounds like a game related oddball event. Especially if you get the game back again in a few seconds. It seems to me, like your laptop graphics card, is saying "WHAT NEXT?". The poor lil thing.
When most people speak of a BSOD, they mean an actual MS Windows death.
Not a simple application crash and return to the desktop, but, a full on "the machine just died in the butt", system crash, and needs a complete restart.
And my XP system, has never done that to me. Not once, since installing Windows XP, have I had a BSOD.
I think what you mean is an application crash, but, if you get the game back again.
I don't know what that means.
You found a new one lass.
Be proud.
