A few strong words to do with my blooming mohaa

[Darkhound]

Right i had to reinstall mohaa recently because my laptop would freeze everytime i tried to play either the hunt or destroyed village recently. this only started about a week ago I would enter the server and wouldnt be able to start playing the map for at least a minute and then it would go back to normal again but be very slow and would freeze again when the next round started. This started about a week ago.
So i reinstalled mohaa a couple of days ago and now it takes 5 attempts to even start mohaa working. Then the intro movie doesnt come up and i have to minimize the screen to get it to go to main menu. when i try to join a server the map takes forever to load and for a few seconds i'll be in the server able to play like normal so the server obviously knows ive joined. Then after about 10 secs the map will start to load up again and eventually freeze my laptop so badly i have to turn it off and on again.

Those anyone have any idea what might be causing this? let alont how to fix it as until it is fixed i cant play mohaa?
Helpful comments welcome....

Hey Darky m8y,

504 Mb Of Ram
60 Gb hard drive

and yes boomer i no its crap but up until now its done its job

[Spike]

freezing is normaly caused by graphics, are you up to date with the graphics drivers ?

[Spike]

to look up what is on youre lappy, go on start and then to system propeties, there you should find the specs of youre lappy

while u lot were playing the match tonight i brought war chest on amazon just to make sure that it might not be my mohaa thats bad as it is a copy my mate who introduced me to it made for me about 6 years ago and the disk is scrartched to bits so it might not of installed properly failing that its got to be dmw as mohaa runs fine in safe mode as long as i dont run it when i log on. chou
