playing as the greeks at the moment [original game ]and its been pretty stable since i re,installed it. i wont take the other back as i always tend to have an extra of copys of games [sudden strike for instance.] especially as i have seen the damage my seven year old has done to his PS2 games. i suspect he has had his hands were they shouldnt be. will have to set the mouse trap up in the cupboard to catch sticky little digits me thinks.
