NS freezes when I try and join a server

<div class="IPBDescription">:- E</div>I've tried joining directly from the server browser and loading up NS and then trying to join a server. In the former case the screen goes black and NS is unresponsive. I have to alt-tab out and end hl.exe. With loading up first I see the normal server info box pop up for a second, but once it goes away the screen doesn't change and everything is unresponsive. Again I have to kill NS. Happened for the first time today, which is weird because I played NS this weekend.

Windows Vista 32 bit
Intel Q6600
4 gigs of ram

    You've tried setting affinity to 0?

    How to set processor affinity for applications in windows vista?

    * Open windows Task Manager. Right click on the Taskbar of your windows vista desktop and select Task Manager or press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Windows Task Manager

    Set processor affinity to a process (application) in windows vista through windows task manager


    * Click on the Processes tab
    * Click on the Show processes from all users button, at the bottom
    * Click the Continue button for UAC prompt
    * Right click the process (application) whose processor affinity you want to change
    * Click Set Affinity
    * Check the CPU(s) that you want the process (application) to run on and click OK

    Haven't tried this yet because my computer's been borken. Will test it tomorrow if I can.
