I noticed that many ppl are having problems with reinstalling there BHD. So I started this thread for all of us that think they have any solution for this problem and to help out our teammates that cant join BHD at this moment.
System dumps while playing DFBHD/TS
There is no one answer for a dump as there are many reasons including your OS or Computer.
But you can lower the risk by following these rules.
Turn the setting down or off if you have a popup blocker.
Turn off any back ground programs.
Disable your anti-virus program
Install the game and the addon Team Sabre if you have it.
Now you have to update and its highly recommended that you download and save the update for a later date if you need to reinstall
Dont use the ingame updater as this may fail to install all the files needed.
There are two updates: 1 for DFBHD and 1 for DFBHD/TS
If you install both the game and Team Sabre then you will only need the DFBHD/TS update.

If your only installing DFBHD then make sure you dont update the game with the DFBHD/TS update
www.novalogic.com/updatedetail.asp?ID=23&GameKey=DFBHD
The last step is to download the Security Update and update the Ibrowse.dll file in your DFBHD folder
Misc. Updates
Security Update, Delta Force - Black Hawk Down, Delta Force: Task Force Dagger, Delta Force Land Warrior, and Comanche 4
This security update is to replace the existing Ibrowse.dll file, which manages some of the communication between the game and NovaWorld. The update assists in protecting communication from outside inspection, tampering, or theft. We highly encourage all users that have and use NovaWorld accounts to migrate over to the updated Ibrowse.dll. Make sure you are NOT running the game when updating.
Click here to download.
Now make sure DFBHD/TS is added to your firewall setting and not blocked before you run the game.
Remember to clear your cache folder from time to time,to do this open your NovaLogic folder and you will find the cache folder in the BHD folder,open the cache folder and select and delete the files inside,now close the folders and restart the game.
Any other problems like the game locking up is most likly a system problem with your computer or a bad install of the game.
If you keep getting system dumps uninstall your game then delete the left over NovaLogic folder in your programs folder then reinstall as above.
Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your card or mother board chipset.
If you still have problems with the game you may need a Tech to look at your computer to see if it has a fault or a settings problem.
