Why im dropping out?

[andman3000]

OK im not sure if you can help with this but I keep on dropping out right in the middle of a game.

Usally Ill be on for a hour or two or three and boom, it says all the players have been dropped out, and im left there in the loniness. The blue screen and timer hasn't been showing up right before someone is going to drop out. Once I joined a game and as soon as it started it sayed I dropped out.

I have no Idea why im dropping out. I have high-speed internet and im not running any programs(besides msn).

If anybody can help me and not drop out then plz help me out.

O ya would it matter if it was UMS maps?

Dude, usually in those special case situations, x would equal 5.

Wait, wait, that wasn't your question? Dammit, I'll probably need a little more time to think about this one...

EDIT: Check firewall settings, check internet options under the control panel, check ports, whatever. That's all I know, really. >_>

Are you logged in as an administrator on the PC where you're trying to do this? If not, there you have the answer. ;)

Well ill try that adminaster thing.

What I meant is that the account you're logged in while trying to do this should preferably be with administrator privileges. Otherwise, the latest Windows OS's usually don't allow the level of control you need to pull the stuff you want to.

Well this all started to happen when I gave future shop my computer for an upgrade of a better video card and geuss they might have done something with this.

And where can I change these adminaster settings?
