Hi all,

I have just installed this amazing game in my Vista 32 Ulitmate. I have run the official update patch, and the game works fine most of the time - occasionally i get corrupted colours, but only about 1 in 5 loads.

The problem is, I cannot get into the online games - I'm trying to play with a friend on the other side of the country. Anyway, i get to put in m username and password for wormnet, and when i click OK i get a little clock as the cursor, and then it disappears and it plays a fan fare sound, but the screen remains as it was when it was loading - with the logo on the top, and a big blue box in the middle, with nothing in it.

I can click on the exit button at the bottom, and go back to the previous screen, and continue playing in single player, but just can't get online.

Any ideas how to get this working? Do i need to change the settings, etc. I'm connected to the t'internet via a wireless connection to my Orange Livebox, and don't have a firewall (apart from the windows one). I have not changed any setting on the firewall either.

TIA for your help!

I think that problem means your clock or timezone is wrong; make sure the clock and the timezone settings in windows are correct.

Hi there - I have checked the time settings and they are all correct - I'm even allowing windows to autoupdatge the time to ensure it is correct.

Any ideas what else may be causing this problem? TIA!
