Anyone else having things freeze up after you hit the escape button to try and exit? It happens to me sometimes.

Can't say thats ever happened to me, but I find that if I minimize the game at all even for a few seconds, after I hit the escape it tells me to report this error to windows. I never get that unless I minimize the game tho.

Ezor, I know what you mean. I have to reboot my computer sometimes..no biggy. Most likely our comps fault.

That was due to japeths tweezers, I am pleased it has not been done to you again.

Silly suggestion but if you are running XP ctrl+alt+del gets rid of most things. My Xp has never hung on me that i need to do a hard reboot. It either crashes entirely or works

I remember my computer used to crash if I would try to log in and the server was down. I was running 98se then though.

I get that too, every single time i do that.

Also ctl+alt+del, works most of the times, but sometimes i have to restart my computer.

1. Can you give some info about the computer you're using?

Your OS [operating system]: W9x or W2k (MS-windows 9x, MS-windows 2000 and so on). Tell about Installed SPs [service packs] or other system updates.
Your DX [directx] version: dx7 or dx8.1 (you can tell the full version number like 4.0x.xx.xxxx).
Your Video Adapter: ATI Rage 3D or GF2 (nvidia geforce 2), the used driver and -version.
Your Soundcard: AC97 onboard sound from a VIA chipset or soundblaster live, the used driver and -version.
Your inet connection: 56k modem, ISDN, *DSL and so on, are you behind a router/gateway and/or a firewall ??
Your PC: CPU and RAM

If you're not sure how to get this information, go to Start, Run and enter: dxdiag - press enter and wait for a moment.

2. Are you logging out from different parts of the map (maybe where it's crowded) or are you logging out from a certain area?

There aren't any other applications open?

Edit: Update your drivers?
