    Hey guys recently i installed SC and BW on my new computer. When i started it up and played it seemed fine, but after a while it suddenly stopped in its place and turnerd into a continues small cycle replaying the last few seconds. Any ideas on what's wrong?

    I've heard things like this happening on Vista. Are you running a 32-bit or a 64?

    Which processor architect are you running on? Is your processor a 64-bit or a 32-bit? Or just tell me how old it is.

    I dunno if it has to do with that, but it might be the cause.

    Check your video card drivers. Nvidia has been very bad about Vista support

    no that's not it, i've already checked and updated all those already.


    Edit: after some searching through my comp i found that an old update was interfering with some of the Sc files. after a while i corrected the mistake and everything is back to normal.

    If there come some more problems, you should run it as an administrator/admin, but you probably do that already.
