I've noticed a bug that i sometimes get when closing down TOA. When it should return to the windows desktop the screen is just black. It might show a bit of the taskbar but thats about it. I can get it to show part of a window if i try and alt-tab but the computer just doesn't seem to want to respond.

It does this 1 in every 4 times I would say and is no more than an inconvience having to restart when it does do it. I'm just a little curious whether this is an isolated problem or whether other ppl get it.

Had this problem too at times,but only if I've been surfing the net and leave IE still on when I log out of the game.
If I close IE before logging out,it never happens.
It only started happening with either ToA or with the newer ATI drivers (re-started game at the same time I got the new drivers :/ )

If your using custom UI's try it with a standard one and see if it helps, if it does either change the custom UI or reinstall it.

I had that problem with my own UI at one point, deleting the whole folder and reinstalling worked. Like Krait I'd sometimes get problems if I'd had Firefox open browsing at some point and forgotten to quit it before logging out (using ATI Radeon 9800 pro - which is now b0rked).

I got that problem too after I started using custom UI. I just alt+tab and shut down game.dll. I always have browser open in the background...
