Help with loading???

[TonyRichens]

Im having issues with battlefield 2142 yes AGAIN .

I can load the game up , i can choose a server ..... and then half way into loading the bar just stops moving , i can here the music and i can see the little mouse cursor moving . If i choose to end the program , with ctrl alt and del , it says its not responding.

.I have all my correct display drivers
.I have the latest patch .
.The game is installed correctly
.Punkbuster is installed and fully updated.
.I have also reinstalled it today .


I think its also worth mentioning , theres a certain folder in my battlefield 2142 cache , which shouldnt be there ...... within the file theres over 1,500 files , i tried to delete them but they keep coming back.



Any help



Ps.

For those who know , ive also sorted out my cpu issue , im running 3.20ghz and i have no high pitched nose any more .

Turned out it was the memory which was set incorrectly in bios .

theres over 1,500 files

WOW!
It doesn't look too good.
How is your security status?

[TonyRichens]

I would say brilliant chris aka cbmatt would say normal .

Avg 7.5
Superantispyware
spywareblaster
trojan hunter
spybot search & destroy

I don't believe in using a different firewall i stick with windows , any other firewall i use causes hassle for myself when using utorrent or games like bf 2132

scanned with all programs accept spywareblaster every time a set time .

[Broni]

I hope, you're aware, that Windows firewall, while doing OK with inbound traffic, it fails almost every test, when it comes to outgoing traffic?
I use PC Tools firewall on Vista, and Comodo on Win 2K, and I never had any problems with torrents.
I wouldn't mind taking a look at your HJT log.

[TonyRichens]

Hmm

Ok Let me get one up for you .

Do you know this site?

[TonyRichens]

Yeah

Remote assistance

I use it  a lot.

[TonyRichens]

Ive just this 2nd noticed something about this odd 1,500 files in the bf 2142 cache ......

If you break the file name down its this : ra shader bmhasenv map has color m apg loss has dot3 alpha test.cfx

In bold i think are the keywords .......

any clues...

[Broni]

Not really.
From what I understand ".cfx" files are some kind of macros, but I'm not a programmer, so maybe someone else will chime in here.

[TonyRichens]

I just reformatted ...... 

Installed the game offline to make sure no nastys came attached .....

I will let you know how i get on .

Tony

[Broni]

That was quick...
