Random Lock up on specific mission

[Icon_cowboy]

Ok I just got this game EOC and love it. I installed and patched up to current and I have not used any mods or changed anything inside the game (except patch)

I have a amd xp 2.0 (1.67ghz)
512 meg ram
ati radieon 9000 pro video card (agp 4x)
creative labs sound audigy 2.0

tdk cdr drive
western digital 40 gig hard drive (6 gig free)

windows xp

Ok ive went through and checked for updates and applied if needed on my hardware, I have all the service packs for xp.

Here is my problem, the game ran fine up untill the first mission with the little fighter guys attached to my tug. I have tried to complete this mission prolly around 30 to 40 times now and it just locks up and simply quits to desktop at random. AT complete random. Sometimes I just barely make it to the nav point where I talk to the guy oregan. Sometimes It locks up while im fighting the first 3 mauraders. Sometimes during the second fight. Its never locked up I dont think when jegs is picking up all the cargo pods. But it locks up allot either right after I hit F8 to go home (like right before the little docking movie starts) or right after both the little docking movies.

It has never crashed before till this mission and Im totally bummed as I just got those fighters (after a few failed attempts in the mission previous) and was having a ball. Im not really compter savvy but any help would be great.
