Its your video card. I know this because I had the same video card. It happens when you spend rounds near water or someone else does. Turn your effects down to none. That fixes the bsod.

Youll need a graffics card that renders dx8.1 game shaders. geforce fx5200 pro is a good choice for starters if you want to kill the bsod, but to really get into it you should look into getting a geforce 6900 video card.

You should also look into getting another 512 of ram if you want this game to play right.

I suspect your on dialup if you dont have the latest patch, which is 1.02. If not then go to the lo-mac.com downloads page and download patch 1.00-1.02 and experience better gameplay.

No idea as I never really flew the frogfoot. Come to think of it, you just switched from 1 to 1.02, and if you are flying the campaign from the original version then its not compatible with your current version.

Aside from the blue screen it IS the dx 8 rendering hardware on your computer, and all you have to do is set effects to low or none. That was the #1 problem with this game when it was released. Believe me I was the first to post it. There are numerous places to download campaigns. I suggest checksix.fr or lockonskins.co.uk for some more downloadable missions.

If you want the pure gfx from this game but cant afford the latest video cards, the Geforce FX5200 pro sells at wal mart for around 80 bones, if that. The ATI 9550 pro sells for around 100 and is 2x better than the 5200.
