Weird problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.starcraft (More info?)

Ok, I manage to find my SC Cds, but there is just one slight problem. Two
minutes upon connecting to BNet, my computer freeze, especially when trying
to locate games to join (the screen where you're able to change the game
types ie, melee, FFA etc).

AMD XP 1700, Windows 2000 SP4, 1Gig RAM, abundant of harddisk space, DirectX
9.1c

I would think that old programs are not able to utilize the 1Gig RAM and is
the cause but I haven't tested that yet. Does anyone encountered this
problem before?

What Antivirus/firewall do you use?

Zonealarm and norton whatever it's called particularly dislike Starcraft.
(Simply disabling norton utilities is not sufficient, the services must be
stopped)

Well, I figured that since you're a network-administrator-type-person that you
know enough about computers to complete the extra steps needed to do what I told
you. ;-p

The anti SC virus is supported by Norton, McAfee and Microsoft who each have
stakes in their own games either directly or through sister companies.

Ah...

So, does that mean you have to whip them hard enough to get them to work, but
not hard enough that Byers wants to film you doing it so he can add another film
to his "German Dungeon Pron" collection?

Not when I last connected to B.Net with SC. I've also got 1 gig RAM (Ok P4
3Ghz, win XP Pro SP2). From my experience with programming, RAM is managed
by the OS. The main reson why games like to specify a minimum RAM
requirement is so that all the program can be run using RAM (and not the
swap file), therefore providing decent performance (given that accessing RAM
is considerably faster than accessing the hard disk).
