WINXP sp3..yea anyway I thought I knew the system inside out? ..but every time I join the server the game crashes. Does fine right up until the in-game menu loads. Ive deleted and reinstalled everything, with the new and improved splash damage installation pack. no change, just wondering if anyone has ever run into anything like this. Its not my machine so not really a big deal..just stuck at my parents since I dont have a vehicle for a while :/ I'm guessing probably not a game problem but something with XP?

possibly a little of both. Stuff I'd try off the top of my head:
update drivers if you can, with XP you probably cant if anyone paid any attention to the system. (look at graphics and sound)
update Direct-X (preferrably via the latest redistributable release)
Uninstall, manually delete anything having to do with ET, then reinstall to a different folder.

sweetness thanx for the tpi on driver update. Although drivers were supposedly all up to date..it came up with a missing sound driver..which led to a .dll file problem which led me to discover the virus This was an odd one..anti virus never picked it up, and never had an audio problem until i tried driver updates. It actually seems to be killing and audio prosess when ever i open the game. weird as all get out. Some kid maybe fooling round with his newly discovered maliscious programing powers? Any way i never even thought to check the drivers

When your PC tend to crash always at same moment, try to take a look at event viewer. Sometime it can be damage hard drive (lethal had this in the past -> his PC was always lagging while playing LoL only and I told him to take a look on event window and he found his drive had bad sectors.. )
