computer locks up
« on: May 08, 2000, 12:22:00 PM »
   I'm a new user. I downloaded AH, game runs fine off line, but when I click online, then enter my username and password, my computer freezes and has to be manually shut down. Any ideas?? System is Athalon 650, 128 megs Ram, 32 megs Viper Video ram, Win98, connecting via DSL. Thanks in advance,

How long is it freezing for Airhead?  As it tries to connect, it tends to enter a state of frozenness, but it should come back out once it decides it's not going to be able to connect.  Make sure you give it a little bit.

Heya Fatty, thanks for the interest. I've given it up to 20 minutes, bud. It also freezes if I try to resubmit an application too. Weird huh?

Heh.  Welp in that case you're going to have to wait for somebody intelligent to stumble along, good luck man, it could be a while

Airhead, I think I talked to you today and you got it cleared up.  Let me know if I have you confused with someone else.

Yeah, bud, thanks for the help BTW. It's my firewall denying access, so I disable the firewall before logging onto AH. I could probably tweak the settings of my firewall, but that would require much more expertese than I am capable of.
   Thanks again to all who helped,
