    No, upgrading hardware will not solve your problem.
    Can you stop asking now?

    Motherboard drivers? Busmaster drivers have been known to hog resources during hard drive access; although this was ages ago and may not be relevant now, it's possibly worth rolling back or re-installing older ones.

    i just used the compatibility wizard.

    still runs at 100% and crashes.

    i think my comps just not fast enuff. cause thats all i can think of.

    if i could figure out what to upgrade i would, im guessing a faster cup, but then i would need to buy a mother board to.

    my cound card is pretty shitty. pci 128.

    its gonna cost me about 500$ to get this thing running faster.

    On my computer all gasmes, even rollercoaster tycoon and small stuff liek that (not solitaire though...) use 100%cpu all of teh time. it's perfectly normal.

    no hardware isn't teh problem...it is, but isn't...you gotta find the drivers for XP for all of your hardware to get it running faster.

    search google for your motherboard name and model followed by drivers. (eg. ECS K7VMM+ drivers).


    go into device manager and check to see what devices have a ? or ! next to them.

    video drivers will probably fix the game crashing.

    The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing.  HRESULT was 800706BE from line 44 of d:\nt_qxp\com\com1x\src\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp.  Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.



    The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Reboot the machine.

    The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
    mbmiodrvr
