What can I do if the game freezes or the screen goes black at the end of a compile?

Wavelength: Levels
When half-Life starts loading, the tools will have already finished their compile. Sounds like your Video card doesn't like running both WC and H-L at once. I suggest running your compiles WITHOUT running the game. EXIT WC after the map compiles. Then run Half-Life with the "-dev -console" parameters (without the quotes). When it loads up, hit the "console" button. Then type in "map mymap" (again without the quotes), where "mymap" is the map filename WITHOUT the .bsp on the end.

My screen freezes up sometimes. What should I do?

Hit refresh or reload at the top of your screen. If that doesn't help, sign off and reboot your computer (Ctrl + Alt + Delete to reboot) or press the reset button. This is a typical problem we all face from time to time on the Internet. I tried to get into the web page and was unsuccessful. When I finally did, it did not even ask for a password ("authorization denied"). Again, Internet related.

I'm often disconnected from the game and/or my screen freezes. Why does this happen?

Online Poker at BonusBet.com - Poker FAQ
Disconnections usually occur as a result of a poor or inconsistent connection to the Internet. The Internet often reroutes information in times of heavy traffic causing delays. In an interactive game, such as Poker, the system may interpret a delay as signifying that a player has quit the game. In this instance, you will be disconnected and you may receive an error message from your computer. You will not always receive such a message - sometimes it will simply appear that the game has stopped.

What do I do if my browser crashes or if my screen freezes in the middle of a chat session?

Sometimes, your Internet connection may be interrupted somehow. If this happens, simply connect back to the Internet and go back to the chat room. Unfortunately, when your chat session is interrupted, the chat box is erased and you will not be able to see the previous discussion. But you can always read the chat logs later by clicking on the "Chat Logs" link on the Course Menu.

My screen blanks/goes black while "the Hack" boots. What's it doin'?

FAQ
This happens on one of my machines, too. Knoppix is NOT trying to hide anything its doing. Its just trying to figure out the "best" way to use your video card. I use the following "cheat-code" so I can watch what's happening. The "=" still resides on the shifted 0 (zero) key at this stage of the boot-up process. You can string several of these "cheat-codes" together, as you need them.

The games are developed using Macromedia Flash, so you'll need Macromedia Flash player plug-in installed for your browser. The system is designed to automatically detect plug-in presence, so if there's no plug-in or you have an older version, the installation will start automatically and take 1-2 minutes approximately. If you have a slow Internet connection it can take a while before the download starts, as the plug-in is taken from the Macromedia website.

If you lose your connection, the game will wait a period of time for you to reconnect. In limit cash games, if you fail to re–connect, your hand will be deemed All–In. This means your last bet will be deemed to be taken as a bet made with your last chips, then the hand will be completed. If you win, you will be credited with whatever monies are in the main pot. A side pot will be played for by the other players.

Freezing happens due to several factors, so there is no single solution for everyone. Sometimes, your connection to the Internet suffers from some slowdown, and I can not really do anything about this, a 5-second problem with your connection can already affect the stability of your game. For bingo, the most obvious sign is if the balls stop from being called, and after awhile, you suddenly get 2-3 balls almost at the same time.

The cursor goes to secondary screen but won't come back. Why?

Synergy Frequently Asked Questions
Your configuration is incorrect. You must indicate the neighbors of every screen. Just because you've configured 'Apple' to be to the left of 'Orange' does not mean that 'Orange' is to the right of 'Apple'. You must provide both in the configuration.
