A UPS and USB modem. The modem just logs my calls. I also have an external USB hard drive but that's not connected. The 3D client freezes at "connecting" with the top blue bar about half-way across and the bottom one about 1/10 or less. I've removed all the USB devices and it makes no difference. I have a completely NEW install of the 3D client from when I was on a couple of years ago.
Someone suggested disabling my anti-virus. I DON'T THINK SO! I suppose I could as a test but if that is what is required, someone has serious issues with coding.
Seriously, this site was constantly crashing over 2 years ago and now it seems it's even more unstable. Time for a revamp. But I digress.
I have another computer running 64 bit Win 7. I think I will try and install the client on that one and see what happens.
