jmeyer1980@Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:58 pm : <div class="postbody">ok i just cant figure this out... I install D3base on new windows xp installation with updated drivers... patch the game... run it... and play on ultimate grfx settings without any problems... until i get to the first autosave spot and press escape to do whatever anyone would want to do when they press escape... the first time it was cause i thought my framerates were a little too low and wanted to change the settings... anyway...  as soon as i press escape (and only after either quicksaving or autosaving) the game throws up a general windows crash error.  anytime i try to run the game after that... it will throw up the same general crash error upon initializing the menu.  it never gets past that point unless i uninstall... delete all related folders... and reinstall.<br /><br />------------------<br />System

to delete "/base/xpkey".<br /><br />You can probably make a back up of that file and replace it if the problem occurs again. It will save you the trouble of uninstalling/reinstalling anyway.</div><br><hr><br/>Zakyrus_theOmega@Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2007 6:42 am : <div class="postbody"><div class="quotetitle">rich_is_bored wrote:</div><div class="quotecontent">I'm not sure what's going on there other than to say for some reason during your crash it appears to delete "/base/xpkey".<br /><br />You can probably make a back up of that file and replace it if the problem occurs again.
