CZmud crashing in XP
 
Hi all,
Ok i have the latest zmud and was doing jus fine till i updated from me to xp. Now when i try and uses an alias with a long amount of code ie oberon then it says 2s4e5n... it crashes. The ethernet card i have is netgear fa311 i have the latest driver that microsoft says i should. and cant find anything more recent. When i asked zug he said he had heard of this and that i should update the driver. well if i cant update the driver wat else can i do.

You have "the latest driver that microsoft says i should." Why not go, instead, to the webpage of you card maker and search for the latest drivers there instead of trusting Windows to do it. I once upgraded my video card drivers to some newer ones and Windows Updated started to report that there were an updated set of drivers available which were in fact older that mine.

Just in case, Netgear's homepage says that the latest drivers for your card are version 1.80

never upgrade a windows OS...it causes more problems than a beta-anything.

the problem may not be network card too (i've never EVER had network card problem with zmud, and i've even had my ISA cards working). could be the alias, theres no reason for zmud to send "2s4e5n" to the mud. whats crashing? zmud? the pc?

go into the admin control panel and read the event viewer for applications

Why oh WHY did I have pass door on...
