    Default System Lockup

    Been playing for a long time now with no problems. About 2 weeks ago I suddenly couldn't launch the game anymore. It just locks my system up, requiring a hard reboot. This happens for both EB and RTW. I haven't loaded any new software or hardware which may have caused this. I simply exited the game one night and couldn't launch it again the next morning. I unisntalled and reinstalled hoping to clear whatever was wrong, to no effect. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Are you *certain* that no automatic updater has been running?

    My antivirus automatically updates, but I didn't realize that could affect it. Any suggestions? I only know enough about these infernal machines to get into trouble.

    Validation claims that I don't have an original install, that I've somehow modded EB, and lists a whole bunch of files that have been changed. Unless these are the fixes I got from your sig I'm at a loss to explain them.

    New laptop arrived on Tuesday and I got EB loaded and working correctly on it. Bovi, many thanks for the tips and the help, I appreciate it. Laptop has better graphics than the desktop, so I'm probably better off anyway.
