hrmm... once i got my GTL's sorted out i didn't have any problems with supcom... ran for many hours playing all the scenarios just fine.

regarding lost planet, i dunno if the other night was a fluke or what but i've haven't had any more problems with it. no crashes or computer shutdowns... knock on wood.

ya i'm not looking to install vista... its very tempting but all the issues are something i'd rather avoid. XP is fine for now. maybe when crysis comes out i'll have to setup vista on a spare drive so i can play with the dx10 requirement...
