Spider-Man:The Movie (The Game) Problems
This game keeps rebooting the computer. Doesn't seem to matter what is
going on at the time. It takes about 3 minutes then reboots, even if I'm just customizing the controls. I have no other programs giving me any issues. Here's my specs: WinXP Pro - Clean install - All Updates A7N8X-Deluxe w/ XP 2700+ (45 temp under load) 166 x 13 1024MB Corsair PC3200 @ 166 sync w/CPU 5-2-2-2 ATI 9700 Pro w/ Cat 3.6 Driver and matching Control Panel WD 1200JB HDD Lite-On 52X CD-RW ANY ideas would be appreciated!

Out of the hundreds of configurations in users computers that are giving trouble I see that they almost all have Raedon video cards. I don`t see too many nVidia cards mentioned. I have also read in alt.os.windows-xp that Win XP doesn`t seem to like ATI cards. Maybe as an experiment you could try a diffrent video card ? I would like to read what other posters think.

I got a suggestion from Jimmy S. on the windowsxp.games group to take out one stick of RAM and try to run the game. Well, I did this and it ran fine. I couldn't believe it. Memtest ran overnight on this rig without so much as one problem. Anyway, I played with the RAM timings and ended up with 7-3-3-2, both sticks in, and the game still runs, so I'm calling the game incompatible with the faster RAM timings. WHY this is a problem with this game, I don't yet know. Also don't know how slower timings will affect anything else. My boy's going to be happy he can play his game and that's all that matters right now. Thanks for your time.

I have XP, a radeon 9700pro and have had no driver related issues.
