i have norton 2005 edition (really old, i know, it's not my choice.)

anyway, this PoS security program decides that it has to popup a notification whenever ANYTHING tries to go online (first time only, thankfully.)

and i just got through a virus attack so i have to reset all of my allowances. however, WA always freezes the entire computer up immediately the second i double click 'autologin'.

i have wormkit, and the modules used are:

wkantikeyboardhook
wkpackets
wkwormNAT2

so i technically SHOULD be able to alt-tab out of the game thanks to AKH, but even that freezes up. or rather, it works, but WA always stays on the screen, and it never goes off. so you can see your mouse hovering over selection boxes and buttons and the sort, but you don't see what you are hovering over.

try ctrl-alt-delete, if you have Vista or newer should refresh the whole screen while minizing the game.

It's not possible, Norton is well-known for completely locking up W:A. You can only try to add W:A to the exceptions manually, or temporarily disable Norton.
