Freeze in multiplayer

[Ben]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

I own a game called Delta Force 2, and when I play this game in singleplayer
mode offline, I receive no problems. However, once I am online (AOL), and I
view the multiplayer servers available, when I try joining one of the servers
the game freezes, and I am forced to close it.

I meet system requirements, I have disabled my firewalls as well as opened
the ports required to play the game through firewalls as well as cleared my
system resources, and have not been able to play.

I never had this problem playing on my old '98 HP, but I have not
successfully played Delta Force 2 on this new computer. Can anyone help?

Hi Ben,

Maybe Spyware issues are causing this to happen.
Visit www.microsoft.com/spyware to download the
Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta and scan your system.
