Hi

I recently had crash problems with my PC and daoc after I reinstalled XP.
This is a longshot, but perhaps u have the same problem as me.

For me it was "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP) feature
in XP that was crashing DAOC. To solve it I had to turn it off completly.

To turn this feature off u have to edit "c:\boot.ini".
Inside "boot.ini" look for "/NoExecute=OptIn" and change it to "/NoExecute=alwaysoff".

Edit using "edit" in a commandpromt. Not wordpad or something like that..
Dont blame me if window$ wont start after u tried this. It will start if u do it right.

Think its easier to:

Right click my computer
Click properties,
Click advanced tab,
Click Performance settings,
Then DEP tab,
Select the second option
Add DAOC in there

so it doesn't use it when u play


This way u dont have to worry about Windows not starting up

Yeah, but I dont trust MS "features" like that, so I prefer turning stuff like
that off completly. But its a good tip for those not so skilled in computers.

I bought a new pc 2y ago for Daoc
at that time it was 1 of the best u could get.
The shop also sold it under the term of "game pc".

It ran great but after 3 months i started getting crashes to. Then that got worser to pc crashing when playing music, runing virus scans ect...

I gave pc to GF who used to go online without doing nothing more, but after a while he just randomely restarted and looped restarted then untill u pressed the power buton again.

In between that everything he has been to the shop several times for weeks every time, everything has been changed tx to waranty and some upgrades what wasnt garanty that in the end costed me over 400€ again.

In the end the pc is broken and nothin could be done with it.

I'm abit narrow minded when it commes to OS, so heres my sugestion.
1. Unistall XP (mostly becaues noone realy know how mutch things running in hidden proccess)
2. Install Win2k
3. live happy ever after.
