Question Game quits and goes back to desktop Dark Age of Camelot

Hi folks; It's been months since I last asked for help. My wife is playing DAOC Catacombs. Since installing in Comp the game throws her out of the game to the desktop. This happens at various times during play, doesn't matter if she is playing off or on internet. Windows XP pops up an error screen saying game.dll, ntdll.dll, kerneral 132.dll isn't functioning. If you check the tech data it goes on for a great many pages.

The game works well then for no reason it shuts down. Game was uninstalled and reinstalled no change. System disk cleanup and defrag carried out every two - three weeks. Virus scanned weekly. Ad Aware SE checked weekly.
Any body have any ideas?

Her System:
OS Win XP Home 5.1.2600 SP 2 build 2600
System Manufacturer: ESC
System Model K7S%A AMD 1145 Mhz Chip
BIOs: American Megatrends 07.00T, 0204/2001
SMBIO Ver: 2.3
RAM 1 Gig
ATI Raidon 9000 Video Card (updated to latest drive)
Direct X 9.0C

Thanks
Thomsign

Sounds like a video problem. You can try to roll back the video driver in the device manager. I think a game like DAOC is pushing that system to the limit too.

I am not sure if there is a conflict, but your card was originally designed to use directx 8.1. Anyone know if running 9 would cause trouble? GL

Smile Thanks to Wolf 10

We'll try going backward on the video driver.
Thanks
