Blue Screen

OK this may have been asked before but Im just gonna make a new thread anyways.

So I just downloaded CA again, and installed it. Now when I try to run the game through the website, it gets past hackshield but then my comp gets the BSOD. My mate installed from the same client but his comp works fine.

My Comp Details are:

Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
Intel Core 2 Duo e6750
nVidia 8800GTS 512mb
2gb ram.

Let us know if you need more info.

Have you tried reformatting your hard drive? That would work. Try installing and reinstalling. I used to have that error but reformatting will fix it, good luck.

[scimmyboy]

reformatting would wipe everything off, so make sure to back ur important shit up

[Dested]

It could be a problem with your registry? reformat your pc to the day were CA worked perfectly fine then update ca maybe that will work.

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?
- If not try change your compatibility and see it it works
(right click , Properties, Compatibility...Change to XP, then try 2000, the 95,98, again this may work, and it may also help in debugging the issue)

I assume you are running it as the admin?
- If not run as admin or unlock the true administrator , log in and try from there
(more for debugging if it doesn't work)

Have you tried older drivers
- Nvidea drivers sometimes cause crashes when using the newest, rollback to a older driver , and if that doesn't work, get the oldest driver for Vista 32Bit, and try them. Nvidea does not QA their drivers.


are you doing anything else besides opening CA
- You could have bad harddrive sectors

Does this happen on any other occasion
-If it has , it will help in determining the origin


Are you plugging anything into a USB port?
- If so there is a Virus which locks your computer and gives you a fake BSOD , in which case you restart your computer and it is fine.

If you have a windows XP cd, Boot into repair console (for some debugging)

chkdsk C:
to check the disk and the partition
Fixboot C:
to Fix the bootsector

at this point, you will have a clean boot sector and know if you have some (or a lot) of bad sectors

Run super antispyware 2009 (no super antivirus..., that's malaware...) in safemode, run Hijack this and remove anything that isn't yours or recognized, like BHO's connected to firefox and internet explorer)

I know it's alot of questions, but the answer is in that list...somewhere

Reformatting is the lazy's person's way

[[MPGH]Doc]

Yeah im going to try reformatting it if nothin else works.

Yeah im going to try reformatting it if nothin else works.

Try the above first, and let me know, and I suggest holding off on the reformat until you are 100% sure it isn't bad sectors (which I doubt) sounds more like drivers and or compatibility (your two best bets here)

If it is (however) Clusters of bad sectors, reformat is a temp fix, and won't last to long (suggestion would be in this case to slave the existing hard drive and use a new one)

................That's not the issue, though youll make great tech support...

You...Okay sir..Is it plugged in
Me.....(Click!)..

Maybe The Installation Perfectly,Re-Install The Game!

[NextGen1]

(IMO) everyone is thinking to simplistically "outside the box" BSOD (commonly) is related to Drivers/Hardware/Ram/Boot Sectors/

A simple resolution is always to "Reinstall" Or "Format/Partition" , Fact is if you never discern the actual issue, it will only reoccur sometime in the future. Better to assess and fix

(again, IMO)
