SE5: was rebooting, now doesn't generate turns.

I'd like to get a reply to this.

I presume you're using xp.

Try turning off the auto-reboot so you can see what kind of blue screen error you're getting. That might give a point to start in solving the problem.

Most often it is dusty ram for me.

dust. right I better clean out my computer again. If that's the cause then it doesn't have an effect except when I play SE5.

care to tell me how to turn off the auto-reboot.

Right click My Computer, click on Properties, click on the Advanced tab, click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery, and untick the Automatically restart option under System Failure.

Thanks. I actually came across that last night when I was looking, but I didn't make the connection about what it was for.

Well I turned off the restart and played SE5. Things went well and nothing strange happened, except after a while I decided things were going well whereupon I started another turn and the game stopped generating while generating the next turn. The computer hadn't frozen and taskmanager didn't say it was not responding, but it was a long time maybe 5 minutes, before I decided it wasm't doing anything and quit.

Combats do take a while in SE5, and much like SE4, the progress bad dosen't move while the combat is going.

Just wander off to get a drink of make a snack and come back in a few minutes.
