COMP PROB

A LOT OF THE TIME WHEN IM PLAYING LANDWARRIOR, AND IM ABOUT TO BEGIN A GAME THAT I JUST JOINED, OR EVEN WHEN IM LEAVING ONE, IT JUST REBOOTS MY COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE? OR HOW TO FIX IT?

i know this happens quite a lot to some ppl. not just on DFLW either, so its mayeb a hardware problem. try to make sure all ur drivers are up-to-date, if the problem sticks try a reinstall of dflw.

what OS u using?

if it only happened recently - what did u do to your computer just before it happened? new games? drivers? hardware?

I had this problem too. Your using XP right? What are you comp specs. Whats you UPU and mobo are the main ones.

hi m8 i also used too get same problem with xp couldn`t figure it out only happened with dflw.
anyway only things i`ve changed since is graphics driver radeon 8500 (.768) and put new hard drive in my guess is it was graphics driver hope this helps point you in right dirction good luck

There is a problem with Nvidia drivers running in XP. The only half decent fix is the one that Microsoft themselves produced and I found one day I was routinley updating windows throught the microsoft service.
What could be happening is that a crash begins, XP spots it, cant stop it and reboots in order to save your HDD and hardware.
Im suprosed you get no message but it has happened once or twice with me.
Cheapest fix is look out for the Nvidia fix at microsoft update.
Expensive one is to get ATI drivers once you have bought a Radeon 8500. I know it worked for Panther and staffy there, but these are clearly the wealthy amongst us.
I am happy with the XP fix from microsoft and no, I do not know of a direct link I am afraid.
