<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />I notice another artifact that occures just before a CTD. I will start getting white streakings or flash's accross the screen, and sometimes the audio will emit a high pitch tone (4Khz or so), but not very often. I never had this occure when I played the game using windowsME, & the version 1.32 patch. Yea you had to be careful because of the quest's bug, but nowhere near the problems I am having now under XP-pro <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />
