    Any others playing combat arms?

    Been having a problem lately where I can log in & play; but once the round ends (i.e. elimination, and 140 kill target reached), my notebook would simply show the screen with the players & number of kills, then turn into a black screen and become unresponsive (happening almost every game I play tonite!)

    It's pretty annoying! I guess I can quit before the team reaches the limit, but that's so freaking annoying!

    My Setup:
    Dell XPS m1330
    C2D T5450
    2G Ram
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
    Intel Integrated graphics

    Nexen telling me to run in "compatibility mode"...still crashed today

    It seems to be more of a problem when their servers are busy :(

    i play combat arms as well, yes after the map is done my screen flashes too and i get a glipse of my desktop for a sec, but then it goes back to the game very fast and i just hit the "exit button" and keep playing not sure how to help u tho.
    - i would reinstall the game, thats all i can think off it would prolly work, and check ur video settings change stuff around!

    How good of a connection are you on? I've had it freeze at the end screen in hotels (shotty connections) but have always been able to force an exit (and lose the GP).
