Game freezing

[Chronictank]

Daoc keeps crashing follwing the Toa patch.
Comp does NOT have TOA, only daoc classic ans Si
P3 800Mhz
Geforce 2 32Mb
20b hdd
256 Ram

Low spec i know but thats my m8s pc

The game loads up and it all starts well,but after a while the game just freezes.
I formatted his comp and stuck winxp pro on it, same problem but Winxp recovers the game. Gfx card drivers are latest ones, Direct X 9 (even tried 9b), updated modem drivers, and even tried various different phone numbers still same problem so its not the ISP.
Disabled the sound card in case that was the problem, disbaled almost all background tasks, still same things.

I have searched both US and Europe FAQ's to no avail

Anyone else gettin same problem/Know a solution cus i have no idea hwo to fix it.

i had that problem while trying si on a test pc, it's the low spec
you can run classic but even that's not enough nowadays
it seems as though each patch slightly raises the minimum spec required oO
e.g. on a different pc i tried 2 years ago classic could run perfectly, a few patches later it started to choke

Does it run other ((D)3D!) games okay?

 

[Chronictank]

yes runs all games fine, including never winter nights

more ram (512, or 1024) helps _alot_
