Skuzzy,
I understand that pov, I was thinking maybe the threader had a different pov for the term locked up.
My experience with this crash, mouse and windows desktop are inaccesible after crash. Only, ctrl alt delete, gets a response. To me, that is a lock up. Just giving threader something to consider.
There seem to be a lot of peeps with this issue. I have had it from the begining of my AH gameplay, 1 year and change. I was with FA for 10 years, my current game machine played it about 2 years, never had this particular issue. Not to say FA did not crash occassionally.
I was a beta tester towards the end. Just getting into it when game ended.
