Screen Freezes

[Kevin04]

If i stay in #AG for a few minutes, the screen freezes. Then i have to wait 1-2 Minutes until Windows says "There was an unknown error...". After this, i cant get in wwp again, so i have to reboot my computer. Oh, sometimes the Screen freezes only for 1-2 minutes. Oh yeah, and sometimes nothing happens if the screen freezes. Then i have to reset my computer.

Sometimes its possible to press the windows-key and close WWP with task-manager, but not always.
I uninstalled WWP few times but didnt help, and i dont want to install Windows again (did that 3 days ago) - and i dont think it would help.

Oh, and i turned of all programs in background, except the program i need to connect to internet, and it freezed.

I have a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (128MB), Windows XP Home SP1, 512MB RAM and 2,6GHz - should be enough, one year ago everything worked perfect. Oh yeah, and i used 2 different WWP Versions - the normal one and this Green Pepper thing.

If your computer has a lot more RAM than the game requires, this can happen. Either that is the problem or it is a glitch with Windows XP SP1. It happened to me on a laptop with Windows XP Home Edition SP1, Intel Celeron Processor & 320MB RAM. The game works without a problem on another computer that I have with Windows 98, Intel Pentium 2 Processor & 96 MB RAM.

You may want to update to WinXP SP2 and all the latest hotfixes.

BTW, I have 1GB of RAM and every Worms game works on my machine (natively).

I uninstalled SP2 to reduce the laggs, and it worked. So i have all windows updates except SP2.

Btw. YES, the screen freezed before i uninstalled it, too.
