<!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> K guys, heres the deal. I DL NS, no problem. Waited a while at fileplanet but hey, thats what happens when its free <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Anyway, I install it, go to multiplayer screen, internet games, filter, and I join a game. It connects to the server, but before it plays it will have this huge comp load session (I mean constant blinking, making a lotta noise kinda thing).

Al f4 doesnt get me out, esc, ect. Nothing works and I had to restart by hitting the power brick. Now.... I figured, bwah. So I did it again. And again. Still nothing. Quite disheartened, I decided to not even think about NS and go play some FireArms. And guess what... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> It will connect to the server and give me that same loading crap! Firearms has never done if before, and now I cant play my favorite mod <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> So I deleted NS...no effect. Still froze.
I deleted Halflife (The whole folder <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and I reinstalled it and patched it. Which took a few more hours of waiting in line <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. So....I now have HL and FireArms installed again, and I want to give NS another shot. But Im afraid it will do the same thing again. Anyone else have this problem or a remedy for it?

Im running this on a Pentium 3 with 64mb of ram (bwah <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> )
The graphics card is crap, its a dell 80 series. But its enough to play Firearms smoothly. Is that the source of my problem? This is wierd. Heeeelp <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

This is the strangest problem I've ever seen, Maybe some others could help

tex

same thing happened to my friend. he installed ns and it just hangs at the loading screen. he then tried counter-strike which worked before and same thing. hangs at loading screen. had to uninstall/install half-life and counter-strike to get cs working. ns still doesn't work on his machine.

let me know if you figure this one out. he's getting sick of me telling him what a great game ns is.
