Hi guys, Sorry for posting this topic here, but I thought that this is the place I could get more help from, I ve tried posting topics before in The Technical help section, but barely someone replies, so I really need help for this because this problem has been going on for 2 weeks and I m frustrated....

The Problem:

One week before, the game used to freeze while im playing, the whole screen, mouse, keyboard, I cant use any of them, total freeze, but the game is running, I hear the sounds of monsters attacking me, so I had to restart the PC everytime it freezes ( Freeze happens every 15 = 25 mins )
Then I had my freind come, we opened the PC case, removed the Rams 1 GB DDR1 and inserted it again firmly, and played, the game never froze up till now. So after 2 days from No freeze, I figured out that my mouse stopped working in game and wont move, even outside the game, SO I had to get a USB mouse, Ok it works fine, but when inside the mouse port ( Green ) it doesnt move at all. The Next day while ingame, Suddenly I hear a *peep* sound from the Keyboard while typing inside the game, and then i couldnt use it at all, Nor chat, so I had to exit by mouse, i restarted the PC, and played again, then 5 mins and I hear the peep sound and the keyboard freezes. Then I tried to exit, Reinstall the Keyboard hardware, and restarted, played, 10 mins then Keyboard peeps again....I reinstalled SRO, but still have a problem, I bought a new Keyboard, and played SRO, the new Keyboard freezes aslo same as the first one, Both arent USB, They are in the keyboard port ( Purple )

How to fix this? I need your help guys, and Thanks a Lot.

Try reinstalling Windows? I had the *beep* problem with my mouse , but it would beep , all would lag and after 2-3 seconds everything would be cool ...

I reinstalled Windows and everything is fine.

I got the same problem.

I started downloading all the windows updates pending (start-->all programs-->windows update) and installed the latest driver for my graphic card. It's better now. I'm still freezing and lagging for short moments (just a couple of seconds). I wonder if it's not related to a windows update that tries to install itself on your computer. There is a very huge update of around 30 minutes download time.

Is it a BIOS Beep?

I think so. I checked all the drivers on my PC looking for updates and reinstalled the graphic card driver. And installed all the windows updates. Service Pack 3 was in the list of updates. My PC checks automatically for updates when I'm connected.

He had a non usb keyboard/mouse. I guess it's the card where you mouse/keyboard slot connects too. Get some usb stuff :O

Do you use the Avast virus scanner? If so go to Program Settings->Troubleshooting-> (turns on) Disable Avast! Self Defense Module

Nope I m not using it, but i noticed This problem has never happened before I installed the new windows, so I think the problem is from this windows, i ll try to reinstall it, maybe it will help because there was some kind of installation error?
