Is the files fragmented?
If the data is in archived files and they are fragmented well it can slow up loading. And if it persists on using every available bit of memory it will take longer still.

Not in this case DAB, I've loaded games like FEAR and Oblivion on drives far more fragmented than the drive these two games are on and none of them 'froze' for 20-30 seconds.
These games worked fine when I had my ATI card with my other mobo and the retail EXE's and all the patches, the EAW v1.05 and FoC v1.1 cracks never worked on my previous system but the original patches did and none of them froze! So, I've just reinstalled EAW on another drive, one I just defragged, and ran it straight with no patches, all the ships in the background froze on the menu screen after a few seconds of it appearing then 'stuck' for 20 seconds before the ships started flying again! No disk activity was happening at the time it froze and when it unfroze! Think it must be a system or nvidia driver problem? I disabled AVG antivirus beforehand so it wasn't the AV causing the freeze! I also uninstalled the BETA 162.18's I was running and installed the official WHQL 94.24 drivers (except my card was not WHQL when I installed them?) and it did the same with those? F00king weird sh1t this

The 100series are for Nvidia GeForce7 and Vista. For XP is 94.24. A full Windows reinstall should be more helpful.
I have 7600GT and the game works fine. IntelD 3.00Ghz(P531), 2gb RAM.

After messing about a bit I've found the culprit to be ZoneAlarm!
If I shutdown ZoneAlarm the game does not freeze at the menu now, If I enable ZoneAlarm it freezes! If I use the 'Engage Internet Lock' function it still freezes, I have to 'Shutdown ZoneAlarm' and then the game does not freeze? First time I've had a problem with ZoneAlarm though. Feel better now I know it wasn't a hardware or nvidia driver problem!
