Umm, i am not get any download cancaled error, this error happens while playing after some amount of time.I am using Windows XP SP2 and Dx9c

[TSR-DanT]

heh, indeed..That must have been for another tab or some such, I'm not really sure how I managed that one.. Anyways let me review this for a moment.

What video card and driver are you using?  This is a crash caused by the card messing up trying to create a particle effect or a texture or something along those lines.

I use a GeForce 7600 GT 512MB.Driver version 6.14.11.6921

[TSR-DanT]

I'd say uninstall that driver, run a driver cleaner to be sure you've gotten all of it, and then reinstall it..  Not much I can say about this one, also make sure you're not running anything in the background.

<p>same thing here for 6600 GT tDH ...i have tried new graphic drivers its something that happened with recent changes. THe exact same error and i have windows xp sp2 as well. GU 44 is bad somewhere!!!!</p>

I believe you can still get driver cleaner pro for free from download.com

<p>DId you put the /3GB switch in your boot.ini file because of their client change?  If you did, remove it.  I tried that switch and I got that.  When I removed it - problem solved.</p><p>If I'm not mistaken, that switch was mentioned in the LU #44 notes and as stated, sounded like it could be used with 32 bit XP.  My advice - don't bother.  I have 3GB of RAM but that switch causes issues.  Anyway, something to try if you added that switch.</p><p>Genen</p>

Driver sweaper is also free and works well just boot up in safe mode after you uninstall the driver... run the driver sweaper then your good to install some fresh drivers
