Comments (What you tried, description, etc):

I played last week and it was fine. Today, trying to get into the squad game, I logged into ASGS and made it into the lobby all right, but on trying to enter any game, my computer would crash to desktop immediately. Don't know what's going on. I've restarted the computer several times, restarted the router and modem, plugged directly into the modem. I've tried running the repair in ASGS and also running it in safe mode.

All have the same result.

Actually, the first time I tried to access the game today, I dropped back to lobby with a DPLAY error... connection refused or something like that. The second time I tried and every time since, I've crashed to desktop.

Any suggestions?

That is just weird...

On weird problems the first two suggestions are virus scan and looking for spyware using spybot.

The other idea is to do a re-install of Alleg.

Thanks for replying. I reinstalled and it's working again. Forgot to save my previous config file, though, so my controls are a mess right now /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sad:" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
