Okay iv been playing for two years, recently reformatted my computer and got rid of the crap, went on ctm and it worked okay But then I installed a couple of programs (nothing unusual, Norton AntiVirus, Zone Alarm Personal, downloaded the latest IE6, MSN, Nero express) and BAM, continuum screws up. I get to the entering zone screen and it screws up, just freezes the whole computer. Now i know i get connected to the zone because i get the news file download, but once it seems to actually start entering... nothing. I tried entering a localhost server on my machine and got this error in the SubGame console Throughout this ctm didnt respond, although on localhost it didnt crash the whole pc, when connecting to a main zone the whole system freezes The specs (although i dont think this is the cause, i assume it must be something ON the computer): 56mb RAM (+8mb shared) 700mhz Celeron II Windows 98SE 56k Modem As i said, this worked after i reformatted, the problem started after I installed above programs. Any ideas appreciated, otherwise im away from CTM
