I'm about to throw this comp out the window.... I don't know what the heck is wrong....

I got this comp about 11 days ago and it loaded the game fine.... Played the game to my exceptions and beyond.

I loaded up test server, two days ago, it loaded and a message that said it could play ultra mode popped up. So I clicked it and realized that I can't get in test yet. So shoot, ok I figure no problem. Just tried it today to play, it load up the game fine, but takes forever to get to the log in screen, no big deal. Then I try loading up a server, then toon, and it goes to the city load screen and starts to load extremely sllloooowwwww. It goes so slow that after about 5 minutes, it times out from inactively, and takes me back to the log in screen.

As a side note, tried other online games, high end graphics games, and it all plays just groovy. Tried reloading the game, and removing the test server info.

Solve this one.

So you can:
Get to the login screen
Log in
Select a server/character

Is the character selection slow?

Which server are you trying? I know I've had issues on occasion with east vs west coast (surprisingly, for someone in FL, west coast gives me fewer issues.) If you're not sure which is which:

East:
Freedoom
Infinity
Liberty
Pinnacle
Triumph
Victory

West:
Champ
Guardian
Justice
Protector
Virtue

See if it happens to one on the other coast. (if you don't have a character there, see if you can just whip one up - hit random and go in, see if it loads.)

I still need help but figured it out, the darn game needs to be ran as an admin, is there a way to auto that?

Right click on the shortcut, select properties, compatibility tab, check "Run this program as an administrator"
