Switch Computers, Win help?

Not on a Mac anymore (hope to rectify that asap, let me tell you), and I'm afraid I'm woefully unknowledgeable when it comes to running DW on a PC. Two nights ago, she ran fine. Last night and tonight, all I get is the menu music, and nothing else.
I increased the virtual memory, since the computer was whining about not having enough, and ran the latest Windows XP update, but still no soap. Any ideas on why it would work, and then change it's mind? |

Drivers up to date on graphics card DT?
just find out what kind of GC you have and goto the manufacturers website... |

Thanks, Hula- would that effect why I could run fine 2 days ago (3, now)? | ||

Try uninstalling then installing the game again if you can.
If your computer is whining about not having enough virtual memory, it's got some big problems. |

Tried that, and reallocated some memory. Updating the drivers seems to have done the trick so far. Thanks, gentlemen. |

Yeesh. Now I can't get into a game again!
I can connect to the lobby just fine, but the loading bar hangs up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through "downloading objects". Re-downloaded the client, restarted, all the usuall stuff. Of course, it worked just fine last night. Making me a little crazy. |

I've had exactly this before... it just seemd to clear up though, I'd suggest speaking to Sam about it..
Good luck DT, you'll be back, I have no doubt! |

It's possible that an "automatic update" of some sort is messing you up. Generally if you're getting just music and a black screen that would point to a graphics card/driver problem. | ||

Well, now I can (usually) get into things, so so far so good. I'm sure that Sam's appearence in this thread did the trick. Hiya, Sam. | ||
