    Carbon is first game I installed on my new laptop (Acer 5920G, 1.8 core 2 duo, 2gb ram, nvidia Gforce 8600gt 256 mb) and it run very good but during the game it suddenly stops for 15 secs and then starts working again. Vista says that graphic driver recovered from error. What should I do?

    it's a vista incomparability issue. go ahead and update your game to v1.4
    which should fix this problem.

    If you update the game, then right click on the shortcut and set it to Windows 98 compatability and check disable themes and disable desktop composition.. this helped it run for me on Vista HP x64.
    I also set it to run in administrator mode and renamed the folder called MOVIES as that was causing it to crash but I think that was due to a 64bit issue.
