It's Freezing in here ....

I'm haveing a problem with EU2 that will force me to show that I am not a computer person, just a user ...

Since installing EU2 and the 1.05 patch, whenever I play the game then either close it down and leave or just leave, my system has locked up by the time I come back and reactivate the computer after it's gone into a power save mode ....

It has to be software related, because I have never had it happen before loading the game, But I have no idea what could be doing it or what to do to stop it from happening. Anything that you can suggest is welcome ....

I use Windows ME as my operating system if that helps ....

Im no expert myself. But I think you should try playing with your screensaver or powersaving features off. I think if the screensaver goes off, then the game freezes. If this only happens when you get up and leave, then this sounds like the logical solution.

go to the control panel, power options, and select "Always on".

there is a problem with power saving and Win ME.

I don't think I have the 'always on' on, but I'll do that ... didn't know there was an ME/powersaving problem .... this is the first time I've seen it ....

Thanks .....

it doesn't affect all computers, but most of them I would say. can't remember what it was exactly...

Microsoft's site appears to be down so I can't search the knowledge base just try to search it when you have a minute, they may have a fix for this.
