While playing Links 2003 lately, I have noticed that the game has been crashing while playing a round of golf or in the practice mode after approximately 15-20 minutes. When it crashes, the screen will turn black for about two seconds and it will then go back to the boot-up screen. Once it does this, I can click on the Links 2003 shortcut icon and it will allow me to resume play and it will not crash after that and I can finish the game. When I first installed Links 2003 after buying a new computer in March 2017, the game played fine, but I had only played in the practice mode at the time. Also, I only downloaded the latest patch, 1.07 for Links 2003 and didn't feel it was necessary to download the earlier patches for the game. I also recently updated my NVIDIA video drivers and wondered if that had anything to do with the crashing problem. If anyone has experienced this problem with their system, I would be very interested in knowing what I can do to correct the crashing of Links 2003.
