The damnest thing
« on: May 30, 2009, 11:50:16 pm »
I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game to see if it would run faster, but now I can't get it to run at all.  The updater worked fine, and I can load pssetup, but when I open the client it causes my computer to reboot.  I get a black screen, sometimes an hourglass appears, and then bam!  Computer reboots.  I've toggled various settings in pssetup and nothing has fixed it.  I think I remember having this problem before but I can't remember what the fix was.

The machine in question:

Windows XP, SP3
Intel Pentium 4 2.40Ghz
2.41 GHz, 512 MB of Ram

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X

The thankiest of thanks to anyone who can help!

Hello

Reboot sounds like something 'deeper' has a problem - does the event log say anything interesting?

How do I find the event log?  Is that the error report?
