Sounds like that computer has some issues.  What kind of hardware does it have?

1.  Hold the Windows key (between CTRL and ALT) and hit 'R'
2.  Type in "dxdiag" in the dialog box that appears
3.  Retrieve system info and give to us.

operating system:windows xp professional
manufacturer: GATEWA
language: english
system model: GT5283E
BIOS: default system BIOS
processor: intel(R) core(TM)2 CPU
Directx version: directx 9.0

Hm, if it has a core2, it must be fairly recent.  It doesn't say what graphics card is on there, though.  Might just be an onboard.  This will give a little more information:

Start up paintball2 and type the following at the console:
gl_debug 1
vid_restart
condump skitzo_gl

Now exit and go into your paintball2/pball directory.  There should be a skitzo_gl.txt file in there.  Attach that to your post or copy/paste the contents here.

system model: GT5283E

If it's ANYTHING like the GT4xxxx series, then it has very good graphics onboard.  Are you sure the model number is correct Skitzo?

[skitzo]

im sure
ok heres the files

[jitspoe]

Hm, Intel Broadwater G.  I'm not familiar with that.  When you say the game "shuts down", do you mean it freezes up or just exits?  You might try setting cl_sleep to 1 and/or cl_maxfps to 100.  It might be overheating.

This seems to be quite a problem for you, how long are you at your grandmas?

Hm, Intel Broadwater G.  I'm not familiar with that.

Intel, generic chipset for Intel Extreme Graphics.  ~2006-2007

This is how to retrieve the video card information:

2.  Type in "dxdiag" in the dialog box that appears
3.  Click the DISLPAY tab at the top.
4.  Retrieve DISPLAY info and give to us.
