problems starting game

[psyco]

i put my password in, then i get the screen(logging on screen with the client type background) then just before the zone loading bit, it hangs and i get returned to desktop with no errors... im hoping it will reolve its self, but just in case it cant... anyone got any ideas? btw i havn't installed/unintalled any hardware or drivers...

I would guess the most likely answer is that you have a corrupted file of some type, maybe part of DAOC like a config file or something. Run scandisk and do a fresh install maybe.

Other than that, 9/10 cats had problems with their video card drivers, and even if you havent changed anything thats always a possibility.

I guess my only advice is to uninstall and reinstall stuff till it works... Could do a memtest I guess in case your memory has developed a glitch.

how would i do that? and would it require buying more mem?

Its a program you run from a disk at startup. It checks all your memory for faults. Search around here or google for memtest86

could that be responsible for lag(well kinda) within flash projects? like animated shorts and games

ill explain lag, stops on a frame for about 3-6 seconds(the sound continues, only the frame stops), and mouse movement within slows and is jumpy

Possibly. It sounds like something is sucking away CPU power when your playing flash, memory faults, graphics card drivers spring to mind as possible faults. Its not inconcievable that some other program is interfearing, that could be a virus, spyware, virus checker, random messaging program etc. No real expert on flash though I admit.

ty, ill get onto it asap

i doubt its a virus or another program interfering though...

EDIT: im a noob at bootable disc things, so before i waste(possible) a CD, i found a copy of it, do i just put it on disc put it in, restart, and then follow on screen instructions?
