Considering the impact most AV software has on an system yes it may well be Norton giving you trouble. Look up on norton and how it works, then look up how drivers work and then compare that to how most user level programs and games work. Most system crashes I used to have were gone after I got rid of Norton, never had any program installation screw up any system I had since then. (Unless offcourse I did something stupid <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Sa

Well I find this a little strange. I'm not sure how you would have 502MB of physical memory (should be a power of 2, i.e. 512MB). This could be an indication of a problem with the memory in your machine. I'd suggest running a memory diagnostic. Looks like he has an integrated video and sound. (Could b

IMHO just get rid of Norton Antivirus, it's the worse you can have, has a tendency to destroy Windows installs one way or another. Either get Nod32 or some free solution. Norton is far to heavy for it's own good. That's IMHO and several bad experiences at work and at home / others.

Some things you could check; > the page file is corrupt; make a new one (if you don't know how just ask) > unplug and check any / all USB cables / devices > make sure you have no conflicting drivers (like the Audigy, there are third party drivers so you might have tried them once) > check for conflicting software like CD/DVD burning software. Some info for stardock perhaps here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q265879/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314492/E

Reply to BSOD in v2 Beta in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Was the problem my BIOS settings? Could be. Check the battery on the motherboard to be sure it's not damaged (had some weird things happening on a few PC's with a bad battery, ranging from unable to boot to just shutting down no BSOD, it just switched off to BSODing all over the place...

Reply to The Galactic Civilizations II Battle Plan in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

A completely other point (others have also mentioned) is that Ai doesn't research many different weapons trees anymore...normally they concentrate on just one (in my game now, nearly everyone beside me uses only mass drivers, in that before every one has used only beam weapons) and don't even research the defenses against other w

Reply to Do not download the second Beta 1.1!!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

@joekraska Not the same. My game is insensitive to input. There is nothing I can do. Make sure you have no rally points set up on a planet (planet and rally point in the same spot). If a ship is on autopilot to that RP it will hang the turn. (It can be hard to see the planet under the RP,

well, it just happened again. Nothing I can see in the debug.err file, but here's what we have: When Windows BSDODs everything is halted immediatly, no log will ever be made that will give any clues as to why the BSOD happened. If you can give the first 3 to 4 lines of the BSOD we can look

I tried running in windowed mode, but I found that you really want to run the game in the highest resolution your monitor supports. You can with windowed mode if your desktop is set to the highest res just set the game in windowed mode to the highest res as wel.

Reply to How Many Posts Needed to get attention? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My point is simple. You make a product. You sell it, you collect the money. If it doesn't work, fix it. With any other product out there in the world if it's broken, they owe it to you to fix it or replace it. Game has been released only a month or 2 ago. There have been more updates and patches then

Reply to Dont let us down!!! in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

The game is old how many months ? There have been how many patches ? The Beta is how old ? I wouldn't expect any extra content in the first 3 to 6 months so what SD has done so far seems pretty ok. As for keeping us up t odate, they do a reasonable job, I hope they never give a fixed release date for any patch/program as it will slip and people will hang them for "lying". What kind of stuff do you program anyway ?
