Check that you have the right spec' on your computer to run the game.

[Triton]

Windows XP
800 Mhz Celeron
384 Megs of Ram

as i understand uplink was built in windows 2000 therefore it shouldnt have a problem running in XP am i wrong?

[coolsi]

The specs rarely matter...have you tried making a new user? Sometimes they manage to break.  :)

[Darksun]

There is a bug that occasional corrupts user files, its annoying, but happens less with the patch. I've noticed it can happen when you try to cheat by changing gateway defs and keep restoring backups

[Triton]

im on my 7th user now, and it has happened with every user ive created at some point or another whether 5 mins into the game or 5 hours

[Iris]

go to the uplink folder under Program Files, go to the 'users' and delete all the <agent>.usr files there. after that, create a new agent.

whenever you load uplink, it might be trying to load the user files in memory in order to list them at the starting screen, and in doing so, if a corrupted user file was loaded, it eventually crashes your game.
