Ever since I upgraded to a Athlon 64 system, I have had to shut off WinXP auto updates, because if I allowed it to update I get the dreaded "drunken bumble bee" effect in JTL which makes it unplayable. I also cannot install my Logitech 3D wingman Force Feedback drivers, because of the same problem.
This bug has been around for a LONG time, and needs to be fixed so I can reinable updates for my system.
this is in the tech support forum... It appears to be related to a function on your athlon which scatters your processes (don't remember what) but it is a function under your bios that you can turn off. If you do the bumble bee goes away.

Ive read all that already, and none of that applies to my system. Yes I have a Athlon 64, my motherboard has the Nforce 4 SLI chipset (Asus A8N SLI) that does NOT have an option for disableing spreadspectrum.
Also it works fine, except when I allow WinXP with SP-2 auto update, then it gots into the bugged mode, unless I unstall the updates it put in.
My whole point is, they are fixing bugs left and right now, but the worst bug in the game is being ignored.
This game should NOT be so sensitive that windows updates will throw it in this bugged mode. I mean, cmon this system is NOT a shabby system at all. It shouldnt be having these problems with such a current system.
They need to find out WHAT is going wrong and FIX it, not make us put our computer systems in a situation where its in a constantly vulnerable situation where I cannot install security updates for my operating system.
Unless of course, you or someone in your household has a pacemaker
(I've heard potential RF interference, but it's not 100% confirmed to cause any issues)
Fixed the drunked bumblebee syndrome on my AMD System, worth a try for anyone else.
