So, with my normal laptop down and out, I switched over to using my netbook, which has had no issues running maplestory in the past. I get it all up and updated, but when I run the game, it gets to the black screen with the maple hand pointer in the corner, and then it kicks straight to the desktop. It gives me an error saying that the game was stopped due to the system time being changed, and that it was stopped because this is seen as being hack related.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? The netbook is running on windows XP, with 2 gigs of RAM. Ive tried changing my time settings to not set by the internet.
EDIT: Tried turning down the overclocker that ASUS has on this netbook, and it worked a-@ but there is massive lag....

The issue isn't the actual system time. it's the expected time it takes maple to do tasks. When you run it on a weak machine, you get these errors because the machine can't do the tasks fast enough or it's using tactics maple doesn't like to speed up how it processes the tasks. The fact that turning off the overclocking bs makes maple hard to run shows that you shouldn't be running it on the system to begin with. You're basically stuck with laggy fail-ness until you get a better setup. This also happens if the system powers down, hibernates, sleeps, or throttles the processor. Go into the power management settings and check out the advanced settings. There is usually an option for 'minimum processor speed' that manufacturers put to 70ish. That's all well and good until you run something like maple that doesn't like to be throttled, so move that to 100 and it can fix the issue. My advice is to create a new power profile specifically for maple with that setting at 100 and only play plugged in. Keep overclocking off and save up for a better setup in the future. A good desktop will run you under 400$ and a laptop roughly the same and both would be much better for playing maple on.
Edit: XP doesn't let you have the same control as Vista/7 so you won't find that setting. The best you can do is go to control panel->power options->power schemes and select the home/office desk and use the netbook while plugged in. Remember to switch it back when you aren't playing ms or risk majorly killing battery life.

Thanks for the tip. Im basically just leaving the overclock setting at one setting lower, since itll be way laggier going to unoverclocked.
Im trying to get approved for financing to get a new Dell XPS 15 (only cause HP doesnt have financing <_<) so Ill be getting a new laptop soon.
