Edit: computer formatted and issue resolved. Still don't really know what the issue is. Very diisapointed in Turbine for not responding in email or on phone. Still love this game. Thanks to everyone that did try to help.
Well, I'm not a computer savy guy. About all I really do is check my emails and play ddo on my computer. Now I can't play DDO. Not sure why.
After the Patch yesterday I went on and played just fine. Logged off for a bit to play with the kids in the pool. Logged back on and updated some Microsoft Updates, just to make sure I was ready for that "big" virus on Monday. I also got rid of Norton antivirus and started using Microsft Essentials and Windows Defneder. When I hit the ddo icon, it goes through the normal process, goes to the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1, Redistributable Packag like normal, then just locks up. I can't click any of the links on it. All I can do is "cntrol/alt/delete" it. Then when I try to bring it back up. The ddo icon will not respond and I have to reboot the computer..to start all over again, with the same crappy results.
Anyone have any ideas?
