Black Dragon Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 maybe something went wrong when you downloaded it. try redownloading it. Link to comment

orappa Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 posting a screenshot of the error would help ppl alot..... I think it's just the Microsoft "Send error report dialog", which would mean that there was an exception error. Are you sure you don't have a cracked client or anything? That's all I can think of that it could possibly be, because most crashes occur when you start the game, not when you start the client. Link to comment
[XYZ_ABC_123]Deckard Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I'm afraid that this seems to resonate all the characteristics of a virus. The only way i can explain this is that you have a TSR styley virus (terminate and stay resident) which is running in the background of windows and appends itself to whatever executable you run. Do a search for AVG Free Antivirus 6.0 on google and download it (i think its from http://www.grisoft.co.uk) and run it to clear out whatver is screwing up your computer- i'm almost certain other stuff isnt running properly either. Failing that, you could need to reinstall your motherboard drivers (but you need to know what motherboard you have which can sometimes be tricky to work out) or windows has messed itself up (especially xp) so you'll have to install sp1b at least to correct the issue Link to comment
Mealing Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 If all else fails just download a trial version of Partition Magic 8 (just search on google) and format your drive.. If you don't have a windows recovery disk then don't use it for gods sakes! Link to comment
