Yes, my friend uses an X-Fi and has 4 Gig too. My wife doesn't have BSOD but she doesn't use an X-Fi., so...

Thanks for your help, I will try running older sounddrivers.

I'm not sure about their issues, but I have an idea about yours. There's reported BSOD STOP-code 0x00000076 "PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES" problems when using Creative X-Fi drivers on Windows Vista, specifically when using 4GB of Ram. I suggest you check out this thread to get an understanding on the topic:

IMPORTANT: There is a lot of hate mail in that thread, just unnecessary personal bashings against Vista, please ignore all that and look for the suggestions and solutions posted there instead. I do recommend reading all the pages before you make a decision on what to do next.

Also, I'm NOT saying that this is surely your answer, because I am not an expert in this field, but I would like to help best I can, and that thread may be a good starting point... don't forget to backup drivers before messing with 'em!

EDIT1:
Full client seems to be the prob... A friend of mine just tried and got a bluescreen too.

EDIT2:
Have been happy too early... Just got another BSOD. Same BCCode as always. But it took much longer and I survived several mapchanges. And I can join servers after a restart without clearing the cache. So it's a bit better at least...

But I downloaded FS again in 1.0 version will patch it then... Hopefully it will work. Maybe you are rigjht about the corrupted files.

sorry to say, but then dont post but let some dev do it instead...

Ok yea I found a possible solution but ill say nothing sure, lesson learned thank you.

- Have you tried reinstalling FirstStrike? On the offchance some component's gone corrupted, an uninstall and reinstall can ensure the files are reliable...

NOTE: If you downloaded the FirstStrike setup using a Torrent (Peer-to-Peer) program such as BitTorrent, it must not be sharing the file as you install the mod, or it will corrupt FirstStrike. Either stop sharing of it temporarily, or copy the file to another location and run it from there.

- BSOD STOP-codes usually resemble "0x00000050" or "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" or a simliar message. Is "BCC 76" the exact message, or are there more BSOD details? If so, please include them here.

- Is there anything interesting in the Event Log? It's located at Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer. Sometimes Windows will record additional error information in there, might be worth checking out.

Weird. I have no clue. (300th post yay!)

sorry to say, but then dont post but let some dev do it instead...

my rig:

Intel E6600
4 Gig of RAM
8800GTX
X-Fi Fatality
Vista x64

my wifes rig:

Intel E6600
2 Gig of RAM
8800 GTS
Vista x86

BF2142 runs great and for hours on our machines. Not a single problem. All settings are maxed out, except for the sound settings on my wifes machine.

Now our problem:

FS 1.1 (that full client version) installs properly, does that "shader thing" when connecting to a server and we are ingame. As long as there is no mapchange. Whenever the map changes from a space map to a ground map, I get a BSOD and my wife gets a CTD as soon as we hit the "join" button. Afterwards there is no chance of connecting to a server (no matter which type of map) without BSOD (me) or CTD (wife) unless we clear the cache-files. This occurs only and always on a change from space to ground map. After clearing the cache, we can play (after waiting for that shader thing again) until we have been playing a space map. Mapchange from space to ground, boom, BSOD and CTD.

Oh, my BSOD STOP-code is BCC 76. Always.

And yes, we are using the latest drivers for our hardware.

So please, please, is there any help?

Thanks in advance,

Shresel
