Maybe this is a problem with cheating death (CD) or windows xp, but every time i open steam and start ns3.0 this happens:
Its opens normally
I can see the menu
When usually the server menu appears, ns just crashes bakc to desktop.

I dont have this problem when CD is off, CD does work when i start ns and then open CD. This is an anoying bug when u want a quick game.

The problem showed up when steam did an update today.

Steam updated, CD almost never works after steam updates. Just wait and CD devs will release another one in the next few days.

Not NS related.

i have the same problem. It has been 10 days. and no update is yet available. i have cd version 4.22.0. but it chrashes back to the desktop everytime i use it :S:S:..
