okay.
First, check if you have directx 9.0b, if not download it here

second, get the lastest updates for your video card.

third, go to config.exe and check the birate to 16

and it should work

Well, providing you have a good version of DirectX (9.0b is the latest) and have up to date drivers for your video card this should not occur.

And as you found out, software mode doesn't work :P

But you can Alt+Tab / Alt+F4 and quit still... unless it really has stalled.

What hardware do you have, and what system are you running?

How do you update your video card?

You download and install the latest drivers.

Tell me what card you have and I'll post a link to the latest driver if you want.
