wade Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I was having a problem of my system locking up hard as soon as I would click the join button for a LAN or Internet MP game. I tried several things and am not sure which one fixed the problem. but something did? below is a list of what I did on my Windows 98 SE system: What I did was... 1. Booted to safe mode and then quit to regular boot. 2. Cleared my Config.sys file (empty now) (emm386.exe and himem.sys were loaded, Windows loads these for you automaticly, so you do not need them)(this also fixed my RAM amount shown in windows as well, it now displays 512MB, which is correct, instead of 511MB?) 3. Ran the following in the System information utility tools: a.System file checker. (found one bad file in windows system and replaced it with a good 1 from the 98 se disc) b.IE repair tool (it did something, not sure as it rebooted) c.Registry checker. (all was OK there) After these were completed the game now runs fine when joining MP games on Internet and LAN... Hope this helps the rest of you...
