Myst will start sporadically and very infrequently. Most times after clicking play, it simply freezes. I cannot isolate the cause of the problem as all my drivers are up to date.

Quite frankly, I can't see what the problem is, as my computer can run every other game without any problems (Half Life 2, Age of Empires III, etc.)

Did you install NVIDIA's version 81.98 ForceWare driver as detailed in Myst V: Installing Video Drivers With Win XP, including uninstalling the existing driver before installing the new one?
