  • Hamachi Issue / RED ALERT 3 Key Invalid?

    The fixable issue here is the Hamachi connection problem me and my friend are facing.

    I am running a PC with WIN XP, my friend is running MAC OS X. When he connects to my server he starts off with a Direct Tunnel (working well) when my friend runs Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 or when he waits for 4 minutes or so, the connection begins to fail, then drops.

    Would anyone know why this is happening, is this obviously a router issue, and what steps could we take to fix this?

    We are using Hamachi because my friend (MAC) cannot get into the online Gamespy server with his "freshly bought copy" of his game, and EA won't take any steps to resolve the issue.

    Thanks for your help

  • Virus and Data Execution Prevention error, Help?

    It all started when I downloaded ESET Nod 32 Anti Virus with a unlimited crack (I learned my lesson, lets start from there.) Now I have it removed and "yada yada" don't know why I trusted it in the first place.

    I have a Virus on my comp now, nothing can find or destroy it... but here are the symptoms:

    - Pop ups like wild when opening browsers outside Sondboxie (Its like a Quarantine program, I don't know the details.)

    - can't search using search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, Dogpile etc.

    - I have just start getting a Data Execution Prevention which closes Windows explorer and then restarts and closes it again, and again and again, until its shut off all together.

    I am completely lost to what to do, I have been trying different Anti - virus programs, but because AVG is shutting its Free vers doors, I don't know where to turn.

    anyone know what might be happening here?

  • why is my Computer over exerting itself?

    When I open programs my comp puts a lot more strain on itself then it use too. I had a program running on my old family computer and my computer, (Now! effectively my comp has better RAM and more space available and free.)

    But the family comp was running the program at 102,000 K of memory usage. and my comp with the same Resolution and options selected in game, was running the game at 244,666 K and my comp was revving up like a Motorcycle, the program was draining 100% of my CPU.

    Any suggestions to what might cause my computer to over exert itself on the small things? because it's starting to happen with programs that only have 22,000 K(Real player) and I am worried. any programs that could help me clean up? (free of course).
