Coffin 'Enry Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Had this one twice today, never seen it before. In a small CMBB game I was trying to scroll quickly accross the map in view 3 by moving the mouse to the top of the screen. The scroll started then after a very few seconds everything locked solid. The only way out was to hit the reset button. No other programs running: system windows XP Pro on Athalon 1.0ghz machine, 512 mb ram and using NVIDIA GeGorce2 graphics card. Recently installed the 1.01 patch and today was the first time I tried to play a game with it, though my son has been playing this week and has not reported any problems. Reported in case anyone else experiences something similar more than in the hope of a solution. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Possibly a heat issue. Do you have any temperature monitors running? WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 somebody else here was saying replacing a mouse fixed thier problem makes me wonder since the last thing you were doing before it locked up was using the mouse whether there might be something worth investigating mouse or mouse driver related 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Also, check the event log, it might indicate what hardware error you were suffering before meltdown. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffin 'Enry Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 Gents, Thanks for you advice. I have looked in the event logs - nothing apparently connected. Temperature is a possible but unlikley - the machine sits swicthed on 24/7 and I have not had this problem with any other program. Something went screwy twice in close succession. As a trial I spent four hours playing CMBB on Sunday ("No, Dear, I am not playing that stupid game again. I am trying recreate a problem on the computer") without any problems and my son has been playing CMBB every waking moment when herself has not forced him to do other things, like eat, also without trouble. So I'll write it off as a mystery pending anyone else reporting a similar issue. Thanks again, Chaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
