Need help with reoccuring problem
Hey. I have been playing MOH:Spearhead lately, and it will play for about 20 minutes and then the computer will go to sleep, then, I'll hit a button, it will come back, then it will go right back to sleep. This keeps happening until i close the game. Also, before i play i make sure to turn all the sleep options to 'never' and same with the screen saver. I have no idea what to and it is frustrating. Any advice would be great. Please help. I used to play this game on PC all the time but now i have a mac, i haven't played in like 2 years and I really want to !!
Thanks,
Thomas

Try clearing your PRAM. http://web.whittier.edu/comp/macguide/PRAM.cfm#Zapping
In the same ballpark, you may have a weak PRAM battery that needs replacing.

I'll try and do this, but why would it only be happening when i am playing this game, it has never happened other than when im playing moh.

Try playing MOH in a different user account. Create a new user account, if you don't have one, in System Preferences / Accounts. Click the plus sign , blah blah.

Hey Appleboy...cool site, I can't believe there is actually a mac exclusive mohaa site-clan
Is this your old server?
sorry yesthisistom but i have no idea what may be causing it, do you have by any chance one of your corners set to make the computer go to sleep?

Re: Need help with reoccuring problem
No, this is a simple problem to fix!!, What is wrong is if you have automatic login disabled, and you put the computer to sleep with the game running, when you wake the computer up, you can only see the game. The login window pops up when you wake your computer from sleep (you know, the black screen with the login window) and it is BEHIND the game, and because you dont log back in (you continue playing the game) the computer goes back to sleep!
Simply put, when waking the computer from sleep, quit the game, login and then reopen the game.
