Have you installed the latest drivers? What version of directx? etc. Are you behind a firewall? Maybe that could be causing some issues. Getting rid of WinME might go along way to sorting out your problems. |

The symptoms you mention suggest a cache of some kind is getting full and the game is bogging down as a result. But it could also be the ASDL connection. I'm connected to a nameless ADSL (Jet Something) from a company called nameless (or Xtra) and I suffer serious drop-outs on an ongoing basis all the time. I mean every couple of minutes. It makes a mockery of the term broadband. So it could even be some of that tech drama interfering. My guess? Telecom/your ISP is letting you down. Can you fix it ? No. I doubt it. Maybe PC World has the clout. I hope so. Robo? |

| 30634 | 2002-01-11 01:38:00 | Re Andy's comments about dropouts, I too am on Jetsomething from additional.co.nz, have been for over 12 months. I have never experienced a dropout since I installed my Nokia Ni500 (yeah yeah, another of Billy's boring promo's for Nokia again, no they don't pay me, they just make great routers) that makes 9 months of fast, problem free surfing. If you are suffering from dropouts Andy, don't look at Xtra, look at your line quality (house wiring) and your hardware. I also upgraded my house wiring to meet Telecom's spec for reliable ADSL and what d'y know, no problems. Telecom recommend upgrading to a two wire system instead of the old 3 wire. It's easy to do plus I rewired everything in Cat5E for good measure. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
