Hi,
Every time I play this on the Internet it stalls(hangs up).
Sometimes when I look for another player it shuts down completely.
I also get this--Backgammon has received corrupt data and will now
close.
How can this be fixed?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know, but it seems like people on very slow internet connections.

I haven't seen that.

Yeah that happens. It's a funkiness in the matter/anti-matter stream?
Again I believe this one is caused by internet problems. Getting
incomplete data.

Wait for Longhorn, but don't hold your breath that it will be any
better. MS has a bad habit of coding a gaming, then just leaving it
alone, and just adding it to the next OS, warts and all.

Go to the Zone.com for better on-line play.

I do not know the ping rates or even how to do that.
Thanks anyway.
