I dont need a map editor hehe, I can seem to find any useful information from the posted forums.

Maybe this will help in figuring out the problem. When i right click on continuum, goto properties, and select the compatibilty tab. When i change to different colour settngs it reacts in different ways, unfortunatly i have tried them all and none work

I can't seem to locate the "Max Frames to Render Ahead" that may be the problem. I have a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS Video card and running on Windows XP.

What security software do you use? I know spyware doctor prevents ss from running, and it usually flashes the hourglass. Couple others might do it too...

I use NoAdaware 4.0 And Norton, But I have closed both programs Then tried running and still dont work. Myabe I need to uninstall?

As for "Max frames to render head" I tried installing Cool Bits 2.0 And still cant find the option...

i don't think "closing" the program cuts the process. I think even that topic says that you may have to uninstall the program. I would uninstall NoAdaware 4 before Norton, if you do. Also look for Windows Theme programs, the ones that let you choose icons, background, themes, screensavers, etc.

for a second, i read the title of the post, and i thought he meant the physical activity of running. then i realized this forum has no wheelchairs.

I sure know System Mechanic is deadly. Man, it took me a week to figure out what was wrong... Bad week it was.

Well, I suppose you restarted your computer after the uninstall, have you tried changing to window mode... Not much help on this. Maybe the program you uninstalled may have fubared your client, back up all the profiles and zones and re-install.

maybe be more descriptive. does the window show that says "entering zone " " " with the stars that move making it seem as if you're moving?

No I know the screen you speak of, and it freezes before that

Try waiting it can take like a minute, espcially if your ps doesnt have much memory to start the game (first time round) as when you click on play it makes alot of security checks.
