Anyone out there with a similar system that can run the program without crashing every 10 minutes?...

I have a
very similar system...built in 2007!
8800GTX 768Mb on card memory
Intel duocore E6700
4GB Ram
I'm actually quite surprised that I have not had the insane problems reported and discussed on the Forums by people with 2011 State-of-the art Rigs, which I find very very odd and counter-intuitive. When COD works, it's superb....the cockpit lighting, shadows, for example...and the new Sounds in the patch (although they do sometimes seem to occasionally cut in and out randomly). I haven't committed yet to upgrade my 2007-era Rig, so I thus far have been flying only scaled down Quick missions...no more than 12-15 acft. The frustration is that sometimes I can fly a full mission, say 15-20 minutes in duration, but probably after 3-4 missions, give or take, I get the 'stopping' of the "Launcher" mid-mission after maybe 5 minutes for no apparent reason, or I get some weird 'memory Crash message' during the loading of a new Quick Mission. In both cases, COD locks up and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of Steam/COD and re-start COD from scratch. I've also lost my Options/Controls profiles several times, and have had to go through the tedious process of again manually entering my keys/axes selections. At one point, my patched version of COD (the latest 6 Sep Patch) seems to have gotten overwritten/rolled-back almost assuredly by Steam, though i don't know how or why. I had to download the full 512 Mb patch and re-install again. I hate Steam.
One question for anyone: When one "applies" a profile, what is the file name? Is it confUser.ini?? Also, when I "Save As" a profile, and i give it a name such as JoeBlow.ini, later if/when I want to re-apply that profile (after Stream has screwed me up again) do I just simply click the Load button in the Options page, select "Joeblow.ini", then hit the Apply button?
