freeze frame is back

[Hosakawa Tito]

I uninstalled MTW, then reinstalled it, downloaded the patch. I even installed the 8.1 driver off the game cd, even though a pop up message stated that my drivers were up to date. Playing a new campaign as the Danes I'm having the game freeze up during the strategy map, either while scrolling across the map or moving game pieces, the last time it froze when the AI was moving pieces on the map. Any ideas?

You asked for ideas:

Why uninstall, then reinstall MTW? problems?

"Freeze" means game stops, no other action? How long? Does it ever resume action? What do you do when it freezes?

Game worked OK before the uninstall/reinstall/patch?

I uninstalled and then reinstalled because others on this site recommended it, I believe erado was one. I only had occasional freeze ups before the patch. It freezes up for good when it happens,not just a delay, and the music repeats the same refrain over and over like an old record skipping. I ctrl-alt-delete to get back to desk top, then start over. It seems to be real inconsistent though, because after several freeze ups, it played fine for 2 hours tonight. The night before it froze up so much, practically every turn, I gave up playing. Reminds me of an old car that runs like crap till you take it to the garage, then it runs like a top
