Indeed. What's interesting is that I'm running Vista, and it's working WITHOUT any of the .exe or .bat files being listed as running under WINXP compatibility, nor is the "Run as Administrator" box checked... Odd.

Well, I am happy to report that the game is now up and running. I completely uninstalled everything, deleted all references to it in the registry, ran a memory check, defragged the hard drive, installed everything to completely new directories, and everything seems to be running just fine now. Huzzah!

It says: Net7Proxy version 1.90 Using IP: 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 30/06/10 17:42:41 Attempting to connect to IP adress: 87.106.15.67 30/06/10 17:42:41 Sending Login. 30/06/10 16:42:42 login OK ---During this time, the intro Video runs, then game crashes--- 30/06/10 17:43:30 MVAS thread running ---Net7Proxy closes

When I get home from work this afternoon, I will take a look and let you know.

No dice. I checked (and verified with the registry) that both "E&BConfig.exe" and "NET7Config.exe" are both running in XP SP2 compatibility and running as an admin. Crashed with the resolution set to 800x600 and 1024x768, windowed and full screen. By the way, I want to point out that the configuration tool (more specifically, the performance test, runs 100% without a hitch.)

Ok, so after a couple days of fiddling with the NET7 launcher, I was finally able to get the launcher pointed in the right direction. I was very thrilled at the prospect of playing the game. After making it through the character creation screen, the game wound up crashing when I selected my character and hit the "Next" button. After a day or so of trying various fixes (I managed to get all the .exes and .bat files to have their "Run as Administrator" buttons checked, and they are all running in XP SP2 compatibility), I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it to a different directory (thinking that it originally being in the "Program Files" directory might have been messing with it.) Only now, the game crashes after the EA logo video. It doesn't even load the login screen. The only clue I have is the "_expect.txt" file mentions this: Error code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION Description: The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access. Access address:00000000 was read from. Exception occurred at 00780005 It was giving me this before, when it would crash after character select, but now I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong, nor do I know how to fix it. Any advice?
