I have downloaded Wolfenstein Enemy Territory on the advice of my freinds who
all reccomend it, it seems to work fine on there computers but for me i can
play for 30 seconds maximum before it freezes up and i have to do CTRL, ALT
and Delete. I have been looking everywhere for solutions to the problem but
so far nothing has worked. Please Help!
 
Hi Penguinsfly1,

Hardware issues can cause freezing, black screens and other
errors. Also, your drivers should always be kept up to date.

Try the following steps one at a time to try and resolve the issue.
I hope this helps. Please post back if you have any questions! :-)

1. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a
Checklist of Solutions at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk

2. Dust your fans, vents and components using a 1/4" paintbrush
and a hose vacuum. Use compressed air for hard to reach places.
Set a housefan to blow cold air into your case to expose an over-
heating issue.. If it works add more fans or replace defective ones.
Use this Motherboard Monitor Utility: http://mbm.livewiredev.com

3. A faulty power supply can cause STOP errors, random reboots,
and black screen lockups. One way to test for that is to check the
wattage sticker on your power supply and then calculate your need

4. Test your RAM using: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

I will try those and hope they work but also I have found it only freezes
when i use my keyboard, i can use my mouse to look around fine. Does this
make a difference?
 
Hi Penguinsfly1,

Normally choosing to use the keyboard over the
mouse should not make any difference.
