Are you using the hi-res patch with it? Are you able to alt-f4 out or does it take a reboot?

I missed something. Do you mean that the game freezes after you try to exit out or while you're playing it?

How much RAM do you have? Also, how much available hard drive space? Sounds to me to be either a driver problem, or your system is running out of memory. Since you have the newest drivers, well... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Have you overclocked the cpu? When i do so while the weather is good, my puter frezes too.
Hence the large number of discoes I have (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

What's your display card?
I tried the GeForce 256 and could not keep it from locking up. Even bought a new motherboard and no relief. Got all the patches. Finally just took it out and chunked it across the room!
Went back to my voodoo3. Graphics not quit a lush but no problems with lockups.
-
i think i got a ati card..
-
Is the lockup occurring pretty regularly, i.e. after a specific amount of time? Also, what is your CPU?

it locks up randomly sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt i got a p150

I've got the exact same problem Choke. The game just randomly freezes when playing. Sometimes it just closes so that I'm sent back to desktop, but the game has stopped running. Other times it just freezes and there's no way out. I never get a black screen or something. Just froze. I heard it could have something to do with cpu temperature? That would be questionable because other programs work fine after i've been sent back to desktop.
I've got a PII400
128 Mb RAM
6 gig of free disk space
Diamond Viper V550
Please help,

yeh i read your post......other games work fine but this one.....

Choke,
If you turn your computer off for awhile are you able to play again? What's the temputure like in the room where your computer is in. It sounds like you video card my be overheating.
Now that the temp is getting warmer in many places in the world these kind of problems seem to crop up, especially in graphic intensive programs like AH.

Choke, a P150 is well below our system requirements so I don't know that I can help you.
JMW, I can't offer you any advice unless you want to get serious about our game. We're only a 6 person company and when we have to spend our time tracking down people who are abusing our free trial period, it robs all legitimate customers of our efforts. If you want to be a legitimate customer, I'll be glad to do whatever I can to help you. If not, you've already wasted too much of our time.

Ok, This is going to sound like the dumbest thing you've heard today, but when I first started playing AH, I would have regular lock-ups much like the ones deascribed here. I then read a message about screen stuttering, and someone recomeded that the person set up their dial-up setting so that it did not show it's status in the systray. I did this, changing no other settings, and I never locked up again. I don't know why, but it did work. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)

Choke, double click my computer, then dial up networking. Go up to the connections menu, pick settings, uncheck the top checkbox.
