Haven't used bittorent since... before 1.11b! Maybe I should run them while I play!

heh, but for real what do I do T_T


Standard tech drill...

Using latest video and sound drivers?
Protected against crash hack? (always running PenguinPlug or Chatlogger, or /o igw)
What outside programs are running alongside SC?

yes
yes
MSN, sometimes winAMP

i run the cleanest comp ever, so no virii, spyware, etc

Okay try running first without either program for as many games as you feel comfortable (maybe 20 or so, it depends on how often you think you're crashing). If you're not crashing after this, go ahead and add in one program, play another 20 or so games, then add in the final program. Eventually you'll be able to deduce what the problem is. I used to have the same problem actually, but ever since using PenguinPlug/Chatlogger it hasn't happened again. I don't run Winamp when I play anymore either, which may also be contributing to the problem.

I've pretty much stopped now
I'm about 95% certain it was caused my computer overheating and I've started turning off my mozilla and opera before playing games, as well as using less heating in my room. (I started crashing shortly after norway became totally cold, which led to me using more heating. )

the next time I crash I'll insert that new fan of mine, haven't bothered yet though.

Hmm it's still crashing here occasionaly. It's usually pretty hot in my room, because I'm cold when I get home, so I turn op the heater a lot :p

My videocard was also overheated first time I got this pc, so I got a new one too. Maybe with me it's a heating problem as well ;x

Same fucking problem, some XP computers don't like to run old games. That what my technician told me, I agree with you FrinkX its really annoying when your playing a GG and it suddenly crashes

I had that kind of problems as well. When I canceled joining b.net it just freezed. Or bw would freeze when I wanted to save the rep file.

When I deleted some spyware problems, I don't have that rep-freeze problem anymore. And I just don't cancel joining b.net.

Someone posted that this could be due to BW not being compatible with hyper-threading processors, but that doesnt make any sense to me. However, this usually happens when I get MSN'ed during play, where BW minimizes and then disappears, with no error warning. I am also unable to restart BW until I restat my comp.

Recently I have been just turning off MSN and any other programs when I am playing, and it has helped somewhat as BW crashes much less.



Yeah happens to me 2 but not with msn.
If its what's happening with me you can push Ctrl+ alt + delete in Windows xp and CHeck if starcraft.exe is still running even though the game actually just shut down. It usually is if you are unable to restart bw. Mark it and shut it down. You should be able to restart it now without restarting the computer.
Atleast this happens to me and i noticed this "bug?" by a coincidence.

Yup , everyone uninstall whatever version of windows you have now and use windows 95 only , since it was the only OS around when sc came out it is the most compatible.GOGOGOGOGOGOGO
