Run DXDiag and see if it complains of uncertified drivers; try lowering
graphics hardware acceleration, etc.. Also look at the computer
manufacturer site and the graphics card manufacturer site for different
drivers. Try upgrades, reference drivers, and drivers for other model
cards till you find one that works. Do a search at
http://groups.google.com entering the game and graphics card model for
more suggestions.

Look for drivers and utilities at these sites:

See if there's a BIOS upgrade for your system. Look at the
manufacturer's site, Compaq, PB, etc., and also at the motherboard
manufacturer's site.

I suggest you ignore DatabaseBen's suggestion. He is the only one to
recommend this course of action, and has not been able to provide any
objective information that a "memory defrag" is a useful program to run or
that it would help in your problem. He never gives links to specific
programs that are successful at this, nor does he ever backup his
contentions.

Another option is to check on the game vendors web site for any tips/work
arounds etc for this game.
