I just recently bought a new HP computer with Windows
XP. It has 256 MB of ram and a Celeron 2.6 Ghz
processor. It is just on board graphics right now. I
havent tried too many games yet but one of the ones I
have tried is called Warlords 3: darklords rising. It is
a pretty simple game that came out years ago that I have
played for a long time and has run for me on a lot worse
systems. It freezes up in about 5-10 minutes on Windows
XP after I start a scenario. Anyone have any ideas or
suggestions? Thanks in advance.
 
On-board video cards usually use the standard RAM and may not be supported
by the games. I would first get an add-on video card (based on nVidia or
ATI) and disable the on-board graphics.

I have a Radeon 9500 and it still freezes running the
compatability mode wizard actually makes it worse.

Get a low on disk space message (100Gb free) so it may be
down to the file system NTFS dont know if there is a way
round that.

Might try a dos system for it see if thats it.
 
There is a 1.1 and a 1.2 patch for this game unfortunatly
the links seem to be dead.
Not sure but I think this fixes the problem, post a link
if you find a live one !

Meanwhile Darklords 4 is out and it is compatable with
WXP rah.
