Crashes?

[Pel]

i thaught this was a good place to ask this...

my question is, does any1 know why every once and a while (ever 3 or 4 ish bootups) while vanguard is loading, after i sign in, it freezes, and when i Ctr+alt+Delete and cancel program, it does nothing, if i try and log off it freezes and if i try and reboot it does nothing... the only way i can do anything is force shutdown on my compu which i hate doing... is there something wrong with my compu? or is this something that other people are experiancing and i should report?

What card and driver version are you using? We'll see if we can't find the issue.

Also, try deleting your "caches" folder (\\sony\vanguard\bin
caches) before loading the game.

well actually i think i figured out that i have a virus... cause every time i try and shutdown or reboot my computer... there is this application called CCAPP.EXE that always has to shut down, and after i tell it to shut down thats when the freeze happens and i ahve to force the compu off... sound familiar?

That's a program that Norton's Antivirus program runs. If you don't have Norton, then you're most likely correct.

The best fix for this is to not use Norton AV. Almost anything (except McAfee) is better.

CCAPP.exe appears to be a process for Norton Anti-Virus. Try disabling/uninstalling Norton and running the game. I swear to Vol Tuniel Anti-Virus programs cause more problems than they solve for me.

Well, maybe.

Norton is a very intrusive program and removing it completely can be quite a task. Still, a standard installation with a manual delete of the offending file should solve this issue. That doesn't mean it won't bring more, however.

I strongly recommend you not go without antivirus, though. The home version of Avast AV is pretty decent (especially for the price), and free.
