Iron Maiden

the things i tried last night didnt work... i did try video card update, but no help. i cleaned my computer a couple weeks ago. i didn't check the fan near the card though. im out of ideas but a friend is bringing out his old card (mine sucks) sometime soon, so when i get it installed hopefully it shouldnt freeze. so before he brings it ill check all the fans and make sure they all work. thanks for all the help, RoadWarrior. i just got xfire so if i have any other problems i'll ask you. my xfire is dragonforc3

i did reinstall ET about a week ago and everything was smooth the first time playing, but the second time it froze in less than 30 seconds. i tried taking maps out of etmain, deleting them, updating PB. i get no error when it freezes. it freezes, no sound, keyboard doesntwork and mouse stops working too. i wouldn't mind a reinstall, but the thing is it takes nearly 2 hours for the download.. im going to try a couple of other things and see if they work.

i got Windows XP. how would i make my anti-virus allow the PnkbstrA and PnkBstrB to run without problems? im not sure if i have a firewall. edit: i do have firewall. and it allows ET to run and i just found PnkBstrB in ET folder, pb, PnkBstrB and allowed firewall to run it. im going to try ET now and i'll re-edit (if noone else has posted by then) and give results if it froze or worked. edit2: didnt work. ET still froze almost 2 hours later.

first, i didnt really know where to post this so im posting it here. ever since the new PB update my computer has been locking up. the screen will freeze and i can't do anything. no ctrl-alt-delete, no esc. or anything. i have to do a hard restart and compleatly restart my comp. so i decided to go to a non-PB server and see if i was going to freeze. i played on -|FG|- #1 server fr an hour and had no problems (except lag). i made a topic on the |>B<| forums (the community im in) and a member said he had this happen to him a while a go during another PB update. he said he just had to wait for a new update. though he told me to run pbsetup.exe and get updates. i did that and still locked up. also another member's child had the same problem as me (exactly the same) he said he reinstalled and everything was fine. so i reinstall and play for an hour that night after the reinstall. i play the next, but the comp locked up. so im out of options of what to do. so im asking for others help here, since i think PB could be the problem.
