Win2k and Homeworld problem

Ok I have played Homeworld on win2k before and no problems. I also have been playing it fine until this one point in the game. I have defeated the fleet that destroyed my planet and the scaffold, which i think is the 2nd part of the great wastelands.

Then I hyperspace out. right when i start to appear in the next area (Diamond Shores I think) after the movie the game locks up with a repeating sound. only sharing of IRQsd I have is that my SBlive value is sharing irq 11 with the Highpoint controllers

If the only thing that's changed is the memory, try testing the memory to see if it's okay. Try testing it with memtest86
