Game stops when playing sounds, then continue

[jcpazos]

Hi everybody

I look for something similar to my problem and not found.

I have this:

Pentium IV 2.6
256 MB RAM
ATI Raedon 9200 series 128 RAM (with last drivers)
Audio Realtek 97
Windows XP Pro. SP2

Problem begin with intro movie, the music begin to "jump" and movie can not be seen, if I skeep the movie main screen loads.

In game, dialogs cause the same problem, everithing stops and loads extremly slow, after some time games continue.

In movie of wonders, I can see the movie, again all stops and then continue.

I deseable all sonds, and problem remains, when some civ contacts me all go to slow (like if sound were eneblaed) the difference is with out sound I can see the movies (all).

I had similar problems with Age of Mithology except there the game crash.

Hope you can help me with this.

Thanks

Looks like your RAM could do with beefing up as you only have 256mb which is the min. spec. It is recommended to have at least 1Gb for Civ4. I would upgrade the memory if you can and see how it copes with that. If you can't upgrade the RAM, increase the page file at least 1Gb. The game may still run slow but it should help.

Hi

Thanks for your advise Zanmato, I add 256 MB RAM to computer and everything runs and works fine.
