If I restart my computer, and don't immediately go to nc (like go to the forum or something instead) NC freezes up at the "Loading Content" screen. A restart always helps me though... Try doing something extremely obvious or weird, my problems get fixed because i do the dumbest things sometimes.

You've only just started getting this problem I take it?

Have you changed anything on your system software wise? Installed/upgraded/uninstalled a program? Updated any drivers?

ZAP = Zone Alarm Pro.

There was a problem with the previous version (which was recently fixed) which did exactly as you described.

Or it could be a firewall trapping it if you are doing it in work.

Here you are. And no, that's not a DOY download, before anyone goes crazy due to the domain name.

arrrrggggg Im getting so pissed....Ive reinstalled 6 times done file checks at least a dozen times restarted a bunch of times and its still hanging......I cant stand this shit...this is not why i reactivated my acct....I may as well go back to playing FF xi :(

[edit] a side note when i get this hanging and i try and open i explorer I get a 404-page not found on my homepage ... and also when its hung i can alt tab but all i can see is the neocron loading screen until i close it from the task menu

[edit^2] by reinstall i mean uninstall first (although uninstall isnt getting rid of all the files only some of them...and it still says i have NC, so i delete the whole NC folder and it still says i have it installed so i hit unistall...and then it cant find unwise.exe.....so i just hit reinstall)
:( :( :( :confused: :( :( :( :confused: :( :( :( :confused:
3 days and no NC :(

I just went into my task manager and started at the top just ending proccesses on the 4th one i think it started....I dunno maybe i didnt have enough free mem to continue as almost everyone says its after ending a proccess
