Lock-ups and CTD
« on: July 21, 2004, 07:10:42 PM »
Hi Folks,

It’s been a while since I played.  Since that time I have switched from MSN dial-up to Sprint DSL.  Also, of course we are now running AH II, Patch 5.
I entered the Main Arena and took up a Hurricane and just flew around to re-familiarize myself but soon ran out of fuel.  I glided in for a landing (not perfect but it good enough).  When the wheels hit the deck, AH crashed to desktop.
Also another problem - I can Alt-Tab out of AH but sometimes I cannot get back in.  I get the white screen with the AH II title bar.  Sometimes I can Ctrl-Alt-Del out of the white screen but sometimes it is totally locked.

System:  1.1 GHz AMD with a Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200.  
Video Resolution, set in AH: 800 x 600, Max Tex. Size: 256 Unlimited frame rate.

Zone Alarm disabled during this period.

Here are some settings, courtesy of Norton:

Before running AH:
User Free: 73%
Cache Used: 101.7 MB
Threads in use: 95
VM free: 1280.4 MB
Mem load: 20%
GDI free 80%

With AH running:
User Free: 68%
Cache Used: 96.7 MB
Threads in use: 102
VM free: 1280.4 MB
Mem load: 30%
GDI free 78%

Many thanks for any suggestions or any advice on what I can try.
