Has anyone experienced a crash that happens mid-game, and the comp send a message that says "blah has performed an illegal function and will be shut down"?

I have all the patches and the game still crashes !!!!!

always right in the middle of a game...i swear it makes me hate the ****in' game...

i have uninstalled and re-installed the game..gotten all the patches...it still happens and i hate it..

actually to tell you the ttruth, i have yet to actually finish a game because in EVERY game i have played i get the error message "terran.exe performed an illegal function" and i have to start a new game and hope it doesn't happen again..

but it always happens!!! right when the game gets to the point of being complex and at the middle stage..

Try several things (numerous threads in the past 15 months on this subject:

disable your wheelmouse, if you use one;

uninstall Norton or McAfee virus scan and nuts and bolts typr of background-running software;

close down everything but explorer (ctl/alt/del/ and then shut down everything that's there

These are the three proffered solutions that seem to have worked for most people (mine was solved by uninstalling Norton's Nuts & Bolts)

I still get the odd stall on a unit click (e.g. a crawler that I'm giving the nutrient/energy etc order to, but at least it let's me hit the x and get out of that warning screen then I can order the unit from the action menu instead of the right click)

If none of these work then switch to Homeworld
