Hello, I'm am currently trying to play combat arms and play it on Windows Vista. My problem am having is that, when i get logged in i get to the connecting to server part and it just stays there and wont move at all even after like 20 minutes of waiting so if anyone could help me that would be grateful. Thanks.

First make sure you are running the game as administrator. To do this right click the shortcut to the game that you use to launch it and click properties. From there you should be able to find a run as administrator option, make sure it is on. If that doesn't work make sure all of your firewalls are off, or if you do not want to turn them off you can add the game as an exception. How to go about doing that depends on what firewall you have. If that is done, check the combat arms website. Search the site or forums for a list of ports. Some games require you to forward ports to play, if you can find a list go to portforward.com and find your router, then follow the instructions listed and enter the values given on the website. Hope that helps.
