like on party poker... my screen graphics go all weird and i cant see half the shit on the table.... its really fuckin annoying cuz i have to close PP and re-open it
and then the MSN message i cant even fuckin see it..... its like..... i open the msn message and i see the persons the name but there the person actually wrote.... its WHITE font.... its like invisible but if i select the message, and copy it into Word... i can actually see what they wrote

wtf is going on? =[

It's probably cause you deleted your system.ini

You have low memory because well... you don't have a lot of memory? :D You need 512 RAM or more!

you can make a computer twice as good as that for about 500 $ or better yet if ur just playing oldschool games like BW, just upgrade your memory to 512 for like 60 $.

Virus?And if not, just messed up windows.Why dont you just format and reinstall?
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

Also, yes upgrade your ram --

If you're using Windows XP 256mb ram will barely be enough, more will be a lot better.

256 is more than enough to run the programs he listed. Infact, its enough to run three instances of all those programs at the same time.

Seems like something is eating up your memory or 2) your windows has gone haywire. XP has a half life of about 9 months after which it starts acting up.

It could easily be a virus/trojan using all your memory. Rundll32 is a legit windows file, but its used by several viruses, trojans and spywares as well. Do the following to see what rundll32 is executing:

Press Start, run, then type msconfig and press enter. A window should open up. Click the "startup" tag at the right corner and see what program is using Rundll32.

Alternatively, if you cant go through the hassle of checking what rundll32 is executing, just press ctrl+alt+del and terminate the rundll32 process. See if this frees up your memory.

You could also format your computer and reinstall everything

Good luck.
