A corrupted sound file can generate crash to desktop.

If the crash happen also off line you would better re download AH (keep a copy of the settings folder) and overwrite your current installation and remove any optional sound file you have.

Download and burn this: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html

Boot it, and run the mem386 tests overnight. There are some AV utilities on there as well, I'd give you hard drive the once over to be sure.

Marginally corrupted files can cause wierdness like you're experiencing, marginally corrupted files usually come from bad memory (where the RAM only has a few bad 'blocks').

wondering if skuzzy is ever going to reply to my post

I didn;t reply because Gaidin's repponse was appropriate. With that kind of packet loss, you are not going to have a very stable connection to the servers.

I see your ISP is using Level3 as its gateway to the Inernet. Level3 is just flaky. Cheap, but flaky. Not much anyone can do about that.

what is level3 and how do i make it better Skuzzy

Skuzzy · « **Reply #37 on:** July 06, 2007, 09:30:14 AM »

The only thing you can do is report the problem to your ISP and hope they will do something. My experience with Level3 is not good. They do not seem to care about problems like this.

Their attitude is one of, "You get what you pay for", as they are cheap.

ok how about this Skuzzy i have someone that goes threw the same company and has the same deal so we both should be getting Level3 internet but he does not have this problem????? how could that be. if he has the same internet then he has Level3 and he does not get discoed like i do

Run a pingplot from both computers. Most likely they won't be running the same path all the time. If you ping it a lot some times you can see the path change, adds hops, or subtracts them. "Level3" is just a cheap set of servers your ISP is routing through. Their connections arn't as strong or clean as good servers, so sometime you'll drop a bunch of packets at one as it gets choaked up, and BOOM ! disco ! HTC allows a certain "time" for a signal to drop packets. Thats so some of those with crappy connections can still play, its also why you see warping. But what is too long (warpy players), or not long enough (people getting discoed), is a fine line to walk.

Comcast has multiple gateways to the Internet. It all depends on their routing and how they handle the routing of the various IP addresses they allocate to users.

I get booted every now & then as I make a final approach to land on a runway. I also run a sound pack. Could that be the cause? It has happened more in the past month & it does not do it all the time. In fact, on one map in MA, it only happened at one particular airfield.
