Re: winspww2 crash to desktop after 5 mins
You might have a thermal problem.
WinSPWW2 (and WinSPMBT) are coming from DOS and don't "idle" in the way Win32 programs normally do, but run with 100% CPU even if you're doing nothing at all.
You may notice that in the task manager.
After some minutes, either the temperature of your CPU itself get to high, or the case temperature gets so high the graphic card starts acting up.
And then again, 100% CPU isn't the same as 100% CPU. That the problem only occures in the deployment screen might be the case because the "waiting for input"-routine is different there from the one used in the rest of the game, but the devs are the ones to ask 'bout that.
Try removing the side cover and cleaning the fans/heatsinks ..
