PhantomEnigma

Nothing terribly specific, really. It's usually something involving meat.

In a somehow related tale, I ruined three keyboards by drinking rum while playing EverQuest. It made the game a lot more interesting at times.

Are you aware of the "exit" button that has been implemented?

It's been a while and Phantom misses Justice.

;-)

I hope you have a wonderful and fabulous day!!!

I noticed earlier that my hard drive was formatted in FAT32 despite running XP. I'm not sure how it even ran at all.

That's what I sort of figured. I've been running a few other games of little graphic intensity with no issues. Thank you so very much. :-)

Edit - It even crashes in safe mode. Oh well. :-P

Hey everyone.
I recently built a new system and everything works splendidly with the exception of CoH. After no more than a minute ingame, I get the pop-up "City of Heroes has encountered a problem and needs to close". I have absolutely no idea why and I'm at a complete loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
