    Do you have any background processes running? I know some IM programs can cause lock-ups such as the ones you are experiencing.

    Also, try updating your video drivers, that may help.

    I'd try temporarily disabling your firewalls, see if that helps.

    Have you tried a full un/reinstall of the game yet?

    which drivers did you fix it with? And do you remember which drivers you used previously?

    I keep crashing in the single players campaign, second mission where its the space battle above Coruscant.

    I'm using an Asus Z71V laptop (Nvidia 6600 Go vid card), and 80.40 nvidia drivers.
