Computer Lock Ups and Crashes

Sounds like an overheating problem. Open your case and by carefully blowing make sure all your fans and heatsinks are dust-free. if that doesn't fix the problem then leave the case open and point a house-fan in there.

General Technical Help and Questions · 02/27/2007 00:29:47

my system info

What make & model is your motherboard? Your current card is a 2x or 4x AGP and if your motherboard is 2x AGP a newwer AGP card won't run. Also getting another 512 MB RAM will speed MxO up massively.

Can you change my character name?

If I remember correctly the offensive name warning takes a higher priority than the name taken warning. It is possible that both are the case.

Which cards?

Cirrus/Maestro cards usually work with facilities that accept Mastercard. But not if it's a debit card. It needs to be credit. The worst that can happen is that you try and it denies you.

If you have an nVidia card I'd strongly recommend against any Omega drivers as well. They're generally pretty good for ATI cards though. Every single version of the nVidia omega drivers has had a critical issue.
