I've got the same problem over the last 6 months and it's pissing me off bigtime...sometimes it seems fixed, but then an hour later when I restart Renegade I get those annoying freezes again.
I defrag my PC all the time, have reinstalled Renegade over and over and had AVG Anti-Virus and Ad-aware scanning numerous times.
Pirate, did you ever do the BIOS stuff suggested here? Or did another virus scanner find something? I'll clean my fan anyway, but I'm kinda running out of options here since I share my internet connection with 4 other computers in the household.
EDIT: Renegade is the only game with these issues.
lol

I had this for a long time as well, "JohnDoe". at sometime during feb/march or something I did an update for video card drivers (i've got a radeon) and it stopped. Ever since, I haven't updated in fear of any newer one messing it up again.
Yeah, i have Catalyst 6-2 which you probably can't find on the ATI site but if you can't, i have the installer on my computer if you want me to send it and take a very long time.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I've got a Geforce 6800 now, but afaik the problem has already existed with my Radeon, so I don't think the drivers are the issue. However, maybe there are remnants of the old ATI drivers on my harddrive that didn't get uninstalled or something. Does anybody know of a program that finds those things?
EDIT: I think the problem first occurred after I installed some new direct x that came with the Riddick game and I think I had an error or something...is there a way to uninstall Direct X or downgrade it?
lol

Not sure if it'd help but I use a TFT 17' so but I altered my Screen Moniter to 200Hz(By Right Clicking Desktop/Properties/Settings/Advanced/Moniter/ then change your Frequency ,thx to a friends help and my fps would rise to a much higher FPS but I'm not sure if it would work with yours. Just a suggestion.

my LCD is at 75hz and my CRT is at 85hz.
usually theres a tickable box thet says "only show options that the monitor can support" or somthing along those lines and then you can select avalible options from dropdown lists or sliders.
