Mechwarrior4 Mecenaries freeze up

[Brian S]

The computer was setup with Windows Xp Pro SP3 with hardware all the same.
Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries freezes up when creating a pilot. As soon as I
mouse over one of the faction names it freezes I have DirectX® 9c dxdiag said
no errors. I have a ATI Radeon 9000 and the onboard Via Audio. What can I do?

Other information about my computer is: a USB wired mouse, a USB wirerless
keyboard, Sailtek USB joystick, 2GB DDR RAM, 2.4GHZ Intel P4 CPU, Belkin
wieless adpter, Memorex DVR RW drive, and a Asus 52x CD drive.

You should post to a gaming site, where these problems are discussed.

The problem is with the video card or at best, with its drivers. There
are "Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries" sites that will discuss which cards are
compatible with that game's requirements. You'll probably need to buy
one of them.
