Okay I'm going nuts after spending most of the day trying to get the EC Client to load.
I think I got some kind of virus a day or two ago. I've probably had it awhile. Damn ICQ and Porn! No more ICQ for me...every 2 mins you get SunnyGirl or some russian wanting to add you to their list. Bastards. Your better off just paying for the porn because the cost of to repair the computer is going to be more in the long run.
Yesterday my computer started slowing down and freezing up it would make a click clock..click clock sound. So I hit the on/off button and the PC rebooted which took a good 30 minutes.
Everything seems fine except I cannot get the EC Client to boot. I run the patcher...hit play and the game window attempts to open then immediately closes.
I've run as Admin, downloaded the latest Direct X drivers, downloaded the latest Nvidia Drivers. Downloaded AVG virus scan. Verified Windows Firewall is not blocking EC Client.
So I'm going nuts and bummed I can't play UO. Not sure what my options are at this point since I've tried everything after googling problems all day.
Any computer Geniuses/Guru's have any idea what I might try or what could be going on?
One the one hand I'm starting school in the summer and probably should be putting UO down and get my nose in the books. But as you all know we need our crack plus UO keeps me out of trouble and keeps me from spending money.
The only good thing is I can still run the 2D Client but I just can't play the game in that client. So I can script but I can't adventure.
I had trouble downloading patching the client in 2D as well. C2 had to send me the client!
I really dont' have any spending money to buy a new operating system, buy a new PC or get it repaired. If worst come to worst that's what I'll have to do but afterall I'm a starving student.
Seems like it would be something simple but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Everything else is working fine. 2d Client, Email, Internet etc.
Anyways...if anyone has an idea of what might be going on I'd love to hear your thoughts/suggestions.
