GForce corrupting Explorer???HELP

wallyworldr · 04-23-2003, 03:55 PM

I bought the game Sunday(do I need a patch, could the patch effect this problem?)..
The game is flawless except when I load a Gforce0dayupdate...the game opens but crashes at the click of a mouse....with the instructions to restart the computer...
But here is my big problem..this fouls explorer...my computer refuses to load...and I have to nurse it back using ALT/CONT/DELETE..
IT has been a nightmare....all leagues from within the game work fine...
Its like something is competing for resources.....is there a corrupted data file?
Should I download the zero day roster again...it took hours last night to get things strait....as long as I don't open the newly created folder tigerball.lg I am fine...but open it once and Im sorry for hours...

Download the latest OOTP patch, then re-download GForce's roster.

That'd be my advice.

Well, this much is certain, it is not the roster file. I have used it with no problems whatsoever as have countless others. I would definately follow Kelric's advice as well as clearing your startup group. To learn how to do this, check out the improving computer performance thread in the TDCB general discussion forum.

Thanks everyone...I redid everything and its working fine now, however I think my mistake was:

Creating a folder with the zerodayRosters...however not creating a standard league and opening the roster..
I was going to continue league and then opening the folder...
Perhaps it was running twice and causing Memory or double exe issues...

Update...the game is still crashing but only when I try to use updated rosters from Gforce.
This is very strange
