BabaZed 1 Posted January 19, 2002 Help me please some one must have a clue. I've been online with windows millenium for 8 mnths without a prob, but then my harddrive died millenium caused me loads of stress(Blue screens), so i changed o/s to win2k and got a new HD. I've applied all the updates latest sound and graphics drivers directX etc, got back up to spec, then tried playing an online game (OperationFlashpoint) as i'd always done before. There is no problem in playing the game (singleplayer), but when i connect to a server for a multiplayer game, i cant get out again i try to cancel the connection and everything hangs forcing me to reset, i can call up the task manager and try to end OFP but to no avail, the mess just get worse and i reset. So i thought i'd be clever and Alt + Tab out of the game instead of cancelling in the game, and end the program with task manager, which seemed to work at first, OFP ended (connection ceased) or so i thought, then 20 mins later i'm browsing the web and BOSH it resets on me (imroper shutdown detected) and it does this every time without fail. So i thought i'd be even cleverer and when gone through the above steps again, i thought i'll reset immediately to save those damn improper shutdowns, but oh no it wont let me, as soon as i hit reset or shutdown it does it immediately. The computer shop are at a loss on this 1, and so am i. But i'm thinking its something to do with the connection it seems as if it cant sever the connection I've disabled the automatic shutdown in system properties/advanced/starup & recovery so i can at least see the error, and now as soon as i ALT TAB out of OFP(online) i get this BLUE screen error message- ***Stop 0x00000044 (0x811A38c8,0x00000cca,0x00000000, 0x00000000) MULTIPLE _IRP_COMPLETE REQUESTS Beginning dump of physical memory physical memory dump complete, contact system administrator or technical support PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

eScopic 0 Posted January 19, 2002 I've had this problem as well. Fixed it by upgrading my Intel NIC drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph 0 Posted January 19, 2002 Happened to me all the time.... Kept on locking up when exiting MP session.. I found these 2 tricks to cure it: 1. Close down ZoneAlarm (if you're using it), as it always locks up when you exit the game. (Although now it's started doing it again under 1.42) 2. Reinstall DirectX8.1 I keep getting blue screens of death though, with loads of weird error messages that make no sense.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
