Sounds more like a computer problem than an ADOM problem to me...

Try scanning your hard disk, memmory and CPU for errors. CHKDSK can be used to scan the harddriver and various memmory and CPU diagnostics tools can be found on the net.

If your hardware get a clean bill of health it's probably Windows that's acting up. Try a "repair" install or failing that re-install if from scratch.

Oh and if your computer is old you might also try to open it up and blowing the dust off the components inside, I've had wierd problems with computers because of "short sircuits" caused by exessive dust inside. Just blowing it off (don't go berzerk with a vacum cleaner in there!) might be all that's needed :P

IIRC You were using Win95. My advice for that (used it for years): Reinstalling every few months prevents a LOT of problems with it. Learn to do it yourself, it isn't hard, just takes a few hours, depending how many programs you want to put again. So format your C drive (assuming Win95 is there) and reinstall. Ask your bro to show how to do this.

But this is if your hardware checks out fine. 95 will get very buggy if your memory is faulty. I'd go there first, get some memory checking tools. You could try and let windows to do a complete check of your hard drive too, but chances are 95 won't find anything...

You should try to install another version of Windows. You could probably use Kazaa if you can't afford to buy. But still, Win 95 is one of my favourite versions. Crashes not very many times. I had many problems with Win 98 and had to install Win 98 SE: still crashes a lot.

The wolf sign is just another starsign you can have in adom.

By the way. If you have a pentium 3 500 mhz or more i'd recommend you to format your pc and get XP, SP1, newest drivers etc.

If you just reinstall Win95, the programs should stay, but chances are the problem stays too. What I did always was to format drive C then install Win95 and the programs I needed again.

I agree, Win98 has way more problems than 95. Xp is pretty nice, has given only 1 blue screen to me so far :\

Iridia: Lol i installed it 200 times and the same problem

Yes, i talked to my big brother and he said that if i re install windows it might clear the problem, but it could stay too, plus my internet connectionn wouldnt work for a while.

Well, i tried to re install it but my damn comp cant read the cd!!!

Enough!!

Im gonna buy a new computer soon. I have had enough of my crap computer XD

Im not gonna buy any really good comp, just something like 500mhz and fast net speed, i have a video card already.

Im not 100% sure if i buy a new comp, but i am 100% sure im gonna get MUCH faster internet connection!! Right now i am playing Hengband! its almost as good as ADOM, the dungeon levels are huge, though a nd some monsters are too silly, but thats my fav rogueliuke after adom, it got MANY race/class and it got even presonalaties. U can even write ur own back groun:P and it got bigger map, its harder in middle game, hey maybe its better than adom? nah, almost I suggest u try it^^

WELL NOW IM GONNA THROW THIS SHIT COMP THRU MY WINDOW!

Im not gonna msg much here until i get new comp so see ya!

Hm, well. Argh.

Becouse im so addicted to ADOM Ill play the dos version, that works, er, somehow, i know its not wery important, other roguelikes doesnt even have these signs, but the dos version stays at the Wolf sign, and it sucks, i think.

It would be better it would stay in the "Candle" or "Cup" Sign:P

I just havta stay whit the wolf sign.

But still u should try Hengband.

I've seen it go on one sign for a while, but it changes after about 3 or 4 chars.

You can build a pretty good computer for about 300-500 nowdays.

Lol. Messing with the Windows clock screws with a lot of things.
