AH stopped liking my modem after 6 months?
« on: December 17, 2001, 12:43:00 AM »
Ok, I was so pissed off with AH freezing every 5 seconds for 1-3 seconds (since last week) that I formatted my drive.

Reloaded everything and all looked good for the reentry in to AH.....

AH worked nice and smoothly offline(80-100fps) as per usual  :)

So I connect to the internet and run pingplotter(250ms on a modem from London), all is rock solid.

So I start AH and straight away the mouse is freezing every 4-5 seconds.

I kill AH and disconnect, restart AH in offline mode and its fine.

So, after 6 months AH just upped and started to have a problem with my modem??

I have not changed any drivers in the last month when all was good.

Any ideas?

AMD 1.4Ghz
256mb DDR
GeForce 2 Mx400 64mb
40Gb ATA100 7200rpm
20Gb ATA100 7200rpm
SoundBlaster Live! 1024
Wingman Extreme Force 3D USB
WinMe
Detornator v23.11
DirectX 8.1

Start by pitching those late-model Detonators... they are experimental only.

Use the links in my sig. to clean out the detonators with Detonator Destroyer (be sure to follow the instructions there) and then load up the 7.78 WHQL drivers.  Start there.

Also, do you have a flashing connection icon in your system tray when you are connected?  That can cause problems.  If so, disable that.
