Remove the catweasel, or find a way to disable the software when you play games.  WHDLoad has a problem with hardware that generates interrupts.  The same thing happens if I keep Genesis online and try to play a game.  It will start, but then freeze shortly after.

Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Try killing the software first.  On the netcards it's only when the stack is running.  Here's the note from the FAQ:

Quote

There is a general problem with all extra hardware connected to the Amiga which generates Interrupts at random or regular times. An example is my network card (Hydra). If I have my TCP/IP stack running, nearly every installed program will freeze after a short time because the card creates PORTS interrupts (the same type as interrupts created by the keyboard) which cannot correctly replied to by the installed program. This is because as soon as the request has been acknowledged with an rte, the next interrupt occurs. To avoid this problem, the TCP/IP stack must be stopped before starting WHDLoad.


Maybe Jens can confirm this is the case, and offer a solution?
