cant get into online
« on: May 12, 2002, 09:22:54 PM »
saturday i was playing on-line with no troubles, later that evening i loaded A DVD into the DVDrom & had troubles with my TV as secondary monitor for viewing movies. I made some minor changes on the video settings tab trying to clear up TV monitor troubles but never did manage to get that system to work. (it was working just fine last time I watched a movie)  
 Today (sunday) i tried to log-on only to have puter lock-up  when the clipboard got to connection (right after account ID ok tab).
thought it was just a fluke so i rebooted & tried again, same thing. I have run virus scans & defragged system- no fix. I can play off line  so the graphics do work but for some reason cant get into online. Also i should note that my CDroms "DRIVER" & "NFS3" are also having wierd troubles Driver had flashing in map window & rearview the first time i loaded it, then in attempt to fix that I restarted the game & now it dumps to desktop after intro. NFS3 works ok but graphics are more choppy then last time i was playing it.
 Im not real computer savy but I miss flyin & need help

Hello,
 I see that you were able to log in on Saturday, Have you installed any Firewall software since then? If you can play off line but not online it sounds like you may have a program like Zone Alarm that is not allowing the game to go through.
