So now the game works as it should, but now Windows locks p while you shut it down ? Let's hope that once we solve this, it'll start properly again ;D

I'll get back to you on this one..

1) Do you use AOL ? If so, make sure it's version 6.0

2) Do you have Norton AntiVirus with the Auto-Protect feature enabled ? If so, disable Auto-protect function and obtain the latest update for Norton.

3) Does your Anti virus program check the floppy drive when you shut down ? If so, disable that feature.

[Vladimir_Harkonnen]

1)No

2)Yes, Disabled and upgraded already.

3)Yes, Disabling

Testing....

Be sure to let me know if there are any changes..

[Vladimir_Harkonnen]

:(

No changes that i noticed. Still locksup when shuting down Win.

As my resources haven't depleted yet:

1) Could you check the IRQ your soundcard is using ? If it uses the same as your ethernetcard, please try to change it to another IRQ.

2) The following should be done with care. Go to start => run and type there msconfig. Check if you see the following .VXD file: 'VNETSUP.VXD. If it's loaded, try to uncheck the box.

3)Try disabling you NIC (Ethernet card, if you have one). If it then works, make sure you update your NIC drivers.

4) In Msconfig, click the Advanced button below on the first tab, then check the box marked VGA 640 x 480 x 16. Click OK twice, and let the computer reboot. When it reboots (in standard VGA mode), return to MSCONFIG, and uncheck the box. Again, reboot.

5) You can create a BOOTLOG.TXT file by restarting the computer, bringing up the Boot Menu (press [CTRL] when the comp boots up), and selecting the option to create a boot log. Let Windows load fully, then reboot normally.

Examine C:BOOTLOG.TXT for Terminate= entries. These entries are located at the end of the file and may provide clues as to the cause of the problem. Each Terminate= entry should have a matching EndTerminate= entry on a successful shutdown. If the last line in the BOOTLOG.TXT file is EndTerminate=KERNEL, Windows shut down successfully.

If the last line in BOOTLOG.TXT is one of the following entries, check the listed possible cause:

A) Terminate=Query Drivers:

Possible QEMM or other memory manager issue. Possible defective memory chips or damaged files. Possible need to reinstall Windows.

B) Terminate=Unload Network:

Possible conflict with real-mode network driver in CONFIG.SYS file.

Terminate=Reset Display:

Display problem. Disable video shadowing (in your computer

[Nyarlathotep]

That sucks.. Did the Bootlog.txt show anything ?

[Vladimir_Harkonnen]
