Running Windows Vista, ATI graphics.
When I try to login to a server, screen goes black, then get a windows error. It closes before I can really get a look at it. Something about windows basic and visual elements. There's a help link that mentions "Why are some visual elements turned off."
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
That's the system turning off Aero (the Windows theme). Try going into your "Documents" > "Dungeons and Dragons Online" folder and open the "userpreferences.ini" file and find the line "AllowDesktopCompositing=False" and try setting it to true.
If the game is still crashing though at launch from server select post a dxdiag when you can (steps how are in the "how to get help" sticky in my sig)
