The spec of my pc is in my sig, stupid forums wouldnt let me add it without making me change my damn name, they said "You need some spaces in your name if you want to have it that long!" wtf is that all about (il miss that line in my name!) anyway heres the spec:

2.66ghz, 256mb ram, ATi radeon 9600xt 256mb graphics card, 120gb

During playing grand prix 4 a couple of days ago the game started freezing every 3 seconds, on the dot, it would run smoothly on the 1st second, begin to lag and get jumpy on the 2nd second, then on the third it would completely freeze. Then the cycle repeats itself, ever since then it has been doing it with EVERY single 3d game i play. Usually only once i enter the 3d game itself, not on the menu's and stuff, and idea what this could be or how i can fix it?

I've never seen that error message here.... :/

Here it just says "Sig can't exceed 200 characters".

Two strings walk into a bar. I'll have a pint says the first$%ASLDJ09920D"$"$D. Excuse my friend says the second, he isn't null terminated.

Actually, I had that error not too long ago...
What he's refering to is that when he changed his forum profile, it produced an error about his NickName.

When It asked me for spaces, I thought, fine... and thus, my nickname has changed from:
"JessTicular"
to
"JessTicular ".

Crazy isn't it?

But, yeah, to answer your original question, I would have to say update your drivers or update DX...

Other than that, I'm no help, sorry.

Jess.
