Re: The dreaded wargame-gw4live.exe crash is annoying me

going to run with access protections on, and ghost btw isnt the culprit, all
i have left is nvidia's ntune software.

problem is once Norton or McAfee write something to the Registry, it sticks
even if that process has been "turned off" by the user.

I use mcacfee, but access protections are off so i dont think its that.
Another thing i notice is that if GUI.exe is still running even after you
exit the game and you try to run it again it will crash outright.

Norton probably wins the prize. The Symantec (Norton) products seem to
get
into everything, as does McAfee. You would probably need to determine
what
it is GoW is doing (Internet connection?) and then program Norton (don't
use
it, so can't tell you where) to allow the GoW functions required. Then
perhaps they'll co-exist. Remember, if Norton updates itself, you may
face
the same issue again.

I think ive solved my problem , basically i used msconfig to remove my
non
MS
services and aplications from startup and ran the game, it seemed to
work
as
i actually completed the first chapter. I tried to figure out which
application or service was giving me the problem. I loaded all my
startup
apps again and the game was still working, when i renabled my services
i
had
problems. I have since narrowed it down to either
GEARSecurity,Ntune(nvidia
driver app) and Norton Ghost.I hope this helps anyone else.
