Occasionally my game freezes, or rather, my picture freezes. The game seems to run fine. In one instance, I managed to enter a trade lane, be warned about a disruption and get blown up by pirates while looking at Planet Manhatten, where the image had frozen.

I contacted MS about the problem, and eventually I did something which seemed to fix the problem - for 3 days. After that, it started to freeze again.

I think it's something to do with my moniter's refresh rate - 60hrz (flatscreen) and my graphics card (GeForce FX 5600 256M, which is supposed to be too fast for my moniter to handle.
