I just installed medal of honor. During the game the screen just freezes and I need to reset the machine manually. I have tried runing the game in a lower resolution with no change. Running in safe mode also makes no difference.

GTA1 speed problems

Sanchez
Has anyone been able to get GTA1 to run smoothly in win2k pro? At any res I run it keeps on slowing down sometimes. Obviously it is not my computer since I run a AthlonXP 1700+ with a Geforce2 and I've tried it with the same results on a P3 600Mhz win2k system.
