et.exe error :[

Elo buddies

I have a very annoying problem with my ET. Every time I'm trying to connect to the server I'm getting error that " ET.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be close bla bla bla " you know what I mean. I have completly no idea what can be the reason.

I didn't do anything in ET folder
Didn't change anything in my config
Didn't download any file from any server

What I did to fix it:
Downloaded every thing from the beggining, made a new ET installation and still the same problem, even deleted ET from registry. Also deleted demos from last few days just to be sure that they are not the reason

Funny thing is that I had no problem with my game previous day and that I can connect to others mods ( like etpub ) but not to the etpro

If anyone could help me, it will be nice, bai bai

well this problem happened with many q3 engine games, had the same over and over again with my quake 3 and also rtcw, but there was nothing wrong (at least nothing obviously).

tried google and everything and some clever guy on youtube had a solution for other engines so i just tried it on the q3 engine games and it worked.

dont know shit about that kind of stuff, but just tried it and it helped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

USDownloader, I was thinking about it, but well that app can be a reason? I don't think so

go etmain folder and delete all useless shit. same with etpro folder. Then use a registry cleaner like ccleaner or smth.

before that, just try to uninstall whatever u installed/patched (usdownloader etc), it shouldnt be the reason but...worth of trying.

Actually I didn't install anything bcoz you don't need to install usdownloader, you just launch it, and that's all " new " apps I got on my pc in last days, nothing more, I already tryed the XP tool and it didn't help

ok, download VirtualPC, create a virtual SO(quite easy :P) and install et there, it will run like shit(because of low ram) but u will be able to check if it works.

Btw have u tried setting et.exe with win2000 compatibility and stuff? sometimes works :o
