I downloaded the game. Installed all stuffs. followed most of the solutions u guys posted.

But at the Initialize World part, everything stalls....
Num Lock and stuffs dont work , only mouse is workable, is that part of it or is my system hang.....I waited for a long time...

Can someone give me an idea,

Am I Hanged, system crashed  or
Is that part of the Initializing of the world..

Pls Help

Wait for at least 1 and a half hours before giving up. Do not do anything on your computer during that time- don\'t press keys, don\'t use ctrl+alt+del, don\'t tab to other programs.

This long wait will only happen once, so it\'s worth it.

If the client crashes or your computer freezes for longer than 2 hours, you have a problem. In which case, post back here and explain the problem. Include your system specs and we\'ll help you any way we can.

When i waited for 30 and 45 mins on 2 occasions. the window popup reads, that the subject has \"stopped responding\".

The music are still playing.
the lights on my cpu still flashing.
Keyboards are dead.... except ctrl alt del.

I had the setup at 640/480 & Fullscreen.
using GL..and software.

My specs for comp are rather low. 500+ iand i am not too sure of my display card( intel...) , directx 9b. (dunno what specs u need, coz i r comp idiot)

The only spec that matters is the amount of RAM you have. Anything less than 256mb will struggle with PS.

Here\'s what I suggest you try. Leave the game loading for 2 hours. Go and watch TV or something, just do not touch it at all for those 2 hours. Come back after that and take a look.

If it still hasn\'t loaded, it\'s probably due to not having enough RAM, or having a weak graphics card/no graphics card (or if you\'re using a Radeon- PS hates Radeons sometimes).
