spring.exe leading to system crash
Posted: 29 Apr 2011, 16:58
Hi, I have just downloaded and attempted to run spring for the first time but have come across a problem.
Whenever I (or another program) try to run spring.exe it immediately leads to my laptops screen going black and my laptop failing to respond to anything else. Use of the windows button, ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+shit+esc, nothing registers, my only way out it to turn the machine off and back on again.
This happens every time, no matter if I double click spring.exe, or if spring lobby or anything else tries to access it instead. The spring lobby loaded fine, but as soon as I had finished selecting what I wished to play the lobby tried to run spring.exe and the crash occurred.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling from various sources (both just the spring download and the kernel panic game download).
I am running Windows 7 home premium on a 64 bit Dell n5010. I have tried updating the video drivers (intel HD graphics card) in case this was the problem but there has been no change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
