Server Error.

Hello.I have downloaded crossfire today.I run it under administrative mode. I use vista.

Problem: Basically after i log in, and join a server, it freezes for 5 minutes. It thens shows the channels i can join but noone at all is in them even if the server is almost full. Then, when i try to click the options key there it shows up and my computer freezes and shuts down.

Does anyone have a solution?
