| Hi Jimmy,
|
| That was Quick.
|
| I have tried uninstalling expansion pack and reinstalling, I have even gone
| deep in the computer( Programs, Run, Regedit )and deleted any trace of the
| software.
|
| I have started the computer in selective startup.
|
| I have downloaded all patches for the games.
|
| I have defraged, virus scanned and done disk cleanup and still no joy.
|
| Dont suppose you have any more idear's mate, cause i am stumped ?
