Problem Starting Emp.

[Megashrap]

Last night I was gonna play jeff a few games. I clicked to start Emp up and it acted like it was going to load, even showed dune on the taskbar. but after that nothing, no loading and it seemed that PC just froze up, I couldn't even do cntrl+alt+del. Tried different Emp discs, but no dice. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

i get that every time i play emperor on my laptop. (which is when i play empr since i dun have a PC now)

i always have to run the program twice. in between my laptop will always stop functioning after it runs the little EMPEROR:BFD picture. I dunno abt urs, but fortunately i can cntrl + alt+ del, use task manager to end task the program. then i hafta click on emperor again. the second time is always fine...

So scar, does it lock up every time now or just that once and you havent tried it since ?

Have you updated any drivers (specifically graphics card) ?

Have you recently changed to your browser to number 7 or done a recent update from microsoft, coz i had the exact problem after i changed to explorer 7 and then after doing an update too it the problem just stopped. :O

Fixed it, I just did a backup image restore. that worked.  ;)

Thats the way, son. I just did one of them today cos my xp kept asking me to give it some driver files. I let it starve, and when it didnt quit, I got rid of it (for an earlier version, that is) :P.
