Thats terrible Doughy, I'm sorry your experience of the game is being ruined by all these technical problems. So far mine hung once and I think that was because I had Kazaa working in the background. So it might be worth checking that any software that may mess around with the harddrive is turned off?

Also, in the game folder where you installed the game, there is a special Safe Video Mode version of the game. If you have persistant problems ingame then thats worth a try (though it doesn't sound like a graphics problem so far, but just in case you do).

Another possibility is dodgy CDs, so it's having trouble reading the data. Sometimes, making a backup copy of your game cds improves things, because programs like Nero etc have error correction.
