Spyware.

Sorry to say it, but I think you got some nasty spyware on your PC.
Don't know if that's tru, but if it is, try to find a good remover, or format you PC.

Hadn't installed it after my format on the computer

Im having the same problem... i've tried running a McAffee virus scanner and Ad-Aware but it still closes after gameguard updates most of the time

Most of the time when your computer restarts when playing a game, it's caused by your graphics card. Are you sure that your card can handle SRO? If it can, are you sure your not running alot of side programs that you dont need to run? And also, make sure that your using the latest driver updates for your graphics card if your not.

My graphics card can handle it... it works some times... just other most of the time it restarts....

i close every proccess that isnt a system... then run exploerer.exe and start SRO... still restarts....

it should be up to date... but the ones at SRO website wont work for my card... dunno y... i got nvidia i think... (im not much of a hardware person :banghead:

I recommed running Spybot S&D as well as Ad-Aware, no one program covers all the spyware out there.

Errr... If you don't know which card you got, how can you be so certain that it can handle the game?

Also, have you checked for bad RAM?

Yohoki · Post by **Yohoki** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 3:08 pm

im sure it can handle the game becuase i play other games with even better graphics (hl2, delta force: BHD, and more)... but just in case i looked in my display properties and it says 128 DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Sec.... whatever that means

btw... theres actually 2 options in display properties... Plug and Play Monitor and (defualt monitor) both with the same radeon thing... should i keep it on plug and play or defualt? oO

Leave it at its present settings.

Check for bad RAM, it can be your problem. Google for MemTest.

ok ill try that...

also... while on the topic of graphics cards... i'd like to think Dell Tech Support for having me install the wrong driver -_- i have a 256 not 125....

**EDIT**

ok i did the memscan thing... it got to 139% then i exited it cuz i got bored watching it..... but ya no errors...

Hmmm... open your Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Log Viewer (or something like that.

Check the system logs, and the error logged there. They might point you to the culprit.

ok ya i did that event log thing... didnt show ANY errors at the time that it shut down... i checkin in System logs, Application logs, and Security logs... i think... since services.exe is gone... it cant open the logs to store anything new
