Crashing when I join a team

I didn't see a tech support forum, so I figured I would start here...
I can launch the game and join a server now, but when I join a team it crashes...
one time it said connection problem detected... the other it just hung up... when I alt-tabbed I saw the debug report app, but switching to it just gave me a black screen, so I think that was hung too...
Is there some magic I need to do on my end?

    Yeah we need your specs to be able to help you. Also something helpful. What Resolution and graphics settings are you running it on. Horridly bad, Medium, High?

    okay cool. I was more expecting "yeah that is still normal", or "here a link to where you should post that"... :)

    Intel core 2 duo, e6850 4gb ram
    win xp home sp2
    on board sound
    nvidia geforce 8800 gt

    running on a 24" monitor...
    1920 by 1080
    running on high.

    I think that is all the usual info...

    thanks...

    Since your responses gave me the idea to turn down the graphics setting... When I put it on medium I was able to play... Hopefully it will stay that way. :) Though it still crashed on exit.

    what are the sweet spots for the setting so that it works the most consistently?

    thanks

    I still get the crash on exit on my other quad core, 8Gb ram machine but only if i am actually connected to a dedicated server.
    I never had an exit crash on a listen server even runnin my primary AMD game rig but for me it seems to only happen when exiting game after playing on a dedi server, could just be me but seems to be a pattern. I also run windowed mode at a lower resolution and that seems to help a bit also.

    I have a similar system that you do. It's an HP

    Intel dual core
    6gig ram
    on board sound
    Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512mb

    I can run on high settings at the cost of a performance drop. Currently I run medium and I don't experience these crashes on joining a team or on exit. Very weird. Not sure what exactly is wrong.
