Game freeze at MP Welcome News Screen

[Lindsey]

Hey guys, I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit and whenever I launch either EAW or FOC I always get a game lockup at the MP window when you first connect and you see the (what used to be) the welcome page/news page. I have no issues playing solo matches with myself and bots but it always locks up like clockwork whenever I sign into gamespy.

I did install the 64 bit patch so its not that (least as far as I'm aware)

Any suggestions?
