Hi,
There are a couple of things you can try.
What is happening is either you are running low on resources OR the software is being interpreted as an attack.
UNINSTALL the game & restart. Then do the following & REINSTALL the game:
go to:
START
RUN
type in:
MSCONFIG
click on the SERVICES tab:
uncheck:
MS SHADOW COPY
VOLUME SHADOW COPY
then restart.
If that doesn't fix it, there are MANY more SERVICES dedicated to Networking & Wireless (802 etc.) that you can shut off to free up more resources. Write me at: loanvest@hotmail.com & I'll send you a list.
I'm writing this out of sequence but BEFORE you do the above, go to Windows Updates & get them ALL. After you get them & restart, more will appear! Get them too. Then, go to the manufacturer's website & see if they have any UPDATES & get them as well.
If it still gives you trouble, you can go back into MSCONFIG & uncheck the FIREWALL but be certain to "recheck" it after you're done with the game as it's an internet security issue.
Lastly, go to Dell's site under BIOS & look up your model to see if you have the LATEST BIOS. If you don't, download it & install it. It's very easy. That may fix everything.
Your problem may be insufficient RAM. How much do you have?
If ALL of the above fails, you'll need to DISABLE SHADOWING & CACHING in the BIOS. Again, feel free to write me & I'll tell you how to do that but it's a last resort.
Sorry to be so verbose. Good luck,
Mark
