Thank you for lettings us know. Enjoy the game.

Just curious if this is still the only corrective action available: A complete wipe of the HD & re-install the OS???

There isn't much in the way of resolution among the forums, to this problem, even though it does seem rather pervasive!

how can i fix this problem without reinstalling windows 7
