alrite did that.. did everything i knew of.. and same parts..
what im thinking the problem is.. is because the cd i had it was so scratched bad.. that the computer may not have read all the data or w/e and when i ripped it onto my computer.. the files were not all complete.. this may be why im having freezes.
i plan to do this:
a. d/l the cds off the interent.. see if they freeze too
or b. buy a new game cd
if they freeze while playing.. i think its just my comp then?
iono.. i have decent graphic card, memoroy: 512mb, 3.0 ht pentium and yeah

thanks for all the help you guys given me.
