Firewall software, such as Zone Alarm, can cause lockups or prevent the game from starting. For instructions on how to run your computer in a selective startup, please visit our site at: (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=agn0558p). If the solution above does not help, please try the steps below. Download and install the latest DirectX from (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downloads/default.htm) Make sure you have the latest drivers for your Video and Sound cards, next. A list of manufacturers with contact information can be found at (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msi0369p). Download and install the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. Check the motherboard manufacturer's website for updated chipset drivers, first. If you can't find updated drivers at the manufacturer's website, the next two most common locations for chipset drivers are (http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2) and (http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/) If Warcraft III still has errors after updating drivers, download war3.reg from (http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3/other/) and save it to your Windows Desktop. Once the file has been downloaded, double-click on it to import the registry info. This file will set Warcraft III to mute sound, run with the basic settings for video and set the refresh rate for the monitor to 60Hz. Once the game has started, you may select the options menu and adjust the video and sound settings as desired. For StarCraft users: Click on Start. Click on Run. Type "regedit" and click Ok. Click on the + icon beside the "HKey_Local_Machine" branch. Click on the + icon beside the "Software" branch. Select the "Battle.net" branch and press the delete key. Click on the + icon beside the "HKey_Current_User" branch. Click on the + icon beside the "Software" branch. Select the "Battle.net" branch and press the delete key. For Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction: The first step in fixing this problem is to make sure you have the latest patch for the game. You can download the latest patch by going to (http://www.blizzard.com/patches). Next, download and install the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. Check the motherboard manufacturer's website for updated chipset drivers, first. The two most common locations for chipset drivers are (http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2) and (http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/). The next step if the patch does not work is to play the game in 2D mode if you are currently running in 3D. You can change this setting by re-running the Video Test. To run this test, click on Start, then Programs, then Diablo II and then Video Test. Also, try turning off the Automap as a troubleshooting step. Check your CD-ROM settings using the information provided at the following link: (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=mdb0404p) If this error persists, please send us any new D2#####.txt and/or D2debug.txt files from the Diablo II folder on your hard drive. This will allow us to better troubleshoot your problem. Finally, you may have noticed that Diablo II causes the computer to work really hard. This is largely due to the many textures that are being used by the game at any given time, especially in 3D modes. Because of this, sometimes users who have this problem do not have trouble with any other programs. Sometimes this error will occur if your computer gets too hot, so anything you can do to lower the operating temperature of your computer might be useful. Lowering the clock speed will lower the operating temperature. You should also make sure that your processor is adequately cooled with a cooling fan and heatsink. Your processor manufacturer has specific recommendations for cooling fans for some of their chips.

I'm using Tomcat 5.0.27 with Sun SDK 1.4.2. A user managed to bring the whole server to a grinding halt for 6 hours after he created a Servlet which had an infinite loop. The piece of code that contained the infinite loop had a MySQL connect statement which added to the problem greatly. I've searched extensively for various answers in how to limit the damage of infinite loops in Java but have found nothing. The memory allocated to the JVM is set to a maximum of 24MB. This had little effect in keeping the damage down. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I've toyed with the idea of using ulimit on CPU time but then Tomcat would die depending on what time limit I set and not the Servlet thread. You can't specify a child process ulimit unfortunately. I'm hoping there's some admin settings perhaps I can use with Tomcat itself or in the JVM to automatically kill a rogue Servlet.
