Cont. freezes when clicking on any menu item

[Stabwound]

In the main menu, if I click on any menu option such as Game, View, Navigate, etc, the list just starts to show up and then freezes the entire program. The only way to get rid of it is to press Ctrl Alt Delete and close the program like that.

 

How can I fix this? I tried to reinstall the game and it still does it.

 

I'm running Windows XP Hope with SP1 installed.

get sp2

get sp2

SP2 is buggy as -*BAD WORD*-

[Bargeld]

It sounds to me like a windows problem, not a game prob. SP2 is possibly the easiest fix. I've had it for a few weeks now, without any noticable problems.

I installed SP2 and there is no change in the problem.

I Have SP2 it works great for me usually if you have a problem it was there before that so fix it

ok i just installed this game, well actually a few days ago. first thing: i can't access any of the menus on the top of the screen aka "Game" "View" "Navigate" etc. when i click on one of these a blank drop-down menu appears and Continuum flat out freezes. i got by just using the Profile/Zones buttons on the screen, but its a pain not to be able to access the menus... i wonder what is in them?

 

2nd: it would be cool to play with my psx pad i have hooked up, so i go to Profile -> Key defs -> and i enable the Joystick/Gamepad toggle, but i can't map any keys to my joystick! it's plugged in and works fine with other games, so i'm wondering if this is a new feature that doesnt work too well, because an admin i talked to didn't know anything about it.

 

i'll continue to play this great game but i hope someone can help me with these annoyances. thanks

Perhaps you should try compatibility with windows98 or 2000. Also which version of Continuum are you two using?

[Stabwound]

I solved the problem... it was a problem with a desktop theme I was using in XP. I changed it recently and now all the menus work, so I assume that was causing it.
