Battists, thanks
I actually started to just wipe my HDD last night and see if that helps (about that time anyways since I had a bunch of random crap on my computer that I really didnt need anymore. When I get home from work I'm gunna finish installing graphics cards drivers, windows updates, and ect then OOTP and see if I still have the problem.
BTW I didnt break my HDD into partitions this time, we'll see how it goes.
thanks for the responses, I've been playing ootp since version 2 and have never had any problems! I guess 1 every 7 or 8 versions will work for me
