I seem to be having a problem with 2k, i recently put it on my computer and i have a LeadTek 64 meg graph card (whether that has anything to do with it) but i have the latest directx 8.1 and the detonator drivers. However, my computer keeps freezing every time i go into a game. I changed my monitor to 16 bit colour and it didn't do it, but i reboot and now it does it again and my monitor is on 16 bit colour still. Can anyone help with this?

Just an idea from a novice; go to control panel/display/settings/advanced/troubleshooting and turn down hardware acceleration a notch at a time to see if that helps.

Make sure you have the right graphic card drivers for W2K...
