Two things related to my problems:
1) The mug shot that I initially made with the account looked fine during development but now has a color-explosion all over the face - looks horrible.
2) Everytime in the game when I try to load up a mugshot anywhere, the system locks and I have to reset the computer. (Unacceptable)
Catalyst 3.5 drivers
Windows 2000 / latest patches
Creative Audigy 2 sound
is there a magic switch to fix this problem? The game is unplayable like this. Please help.

I am really stumped on this one. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling all versions of the catalyst drivers (3.2, 3.4, and 3.5) and they all crash on either the mugshot-loading or hitting ESC.
I tried disabling AGP Fast-Write (as someone suggested elsewhere) - that didn't help. I tweaked some Direct3D settings in the ATI control panel - still crashing.
This is the only game in my arsenal that crashes on the ATI so I just don't get it. Since I have my other system with a GeForce 3 that runs EVE perfectly, I can wait around for the ATI to work but still, this is bothering me. I may get another GeForce just to get the other system working with EVE since this is the only game that I play now. (I put the GeForce 3 into the crashing system and EVE ran perfectly.)
Thanks for your replies and look forward to hearing from anyone else about their experience with this.

Kwai - Thanks for the info - I will attempt to dump the logs when I get home from work. A Geforce card in the same system works great so I'm very sure it's just the card and/or how Eve interfaces with that card.
Kyn - Try a cheap Geforce 3 or better video card to see if it's just your ATI... That's what I did and my old GeForce3 cards works great with Eve. This will cancel out all other hardware issues.

Since you have tried an nVidia card, your problem sounds a lot more complex. I would take Kwai's advice and attempt to dump the logs and send in a bug report.

Wow, this topic is still alive...
Well, I hate to say it but my mugshot crashes didn't stop until I got a newer motherboard (and ram to go with it.) I was using a 1.5 year old abit board but when I tried it on the new system, it worked like a champ:
ATI 9700 Pro w/Cat 3.5 drivers
Intel D845PEBT2 board
generic DDR333 Ram - 1 GB
Soundblaster Live
But you are probably using new boards, so perhaps this isn't helping you. Good luck, let us know what else you try.
