Well, in total ive got about 20 hours of play time on my DA:O character and almost everytime I try to start it one of 3 things happens

1. The launcher comes up straight away and I click play. Nothing happens. I open the process list and find DAORIGINS.exe taking 72 memory (Im not sure what it is but I usually just check there to see if things are running) When its usually up to about 200,000 memory. Nothing happens for about 5 minutes but eventually I get an error

2. The launcher doesnt start whatsoever, no matter how long I wait

3. It starts perfectly and will then work perfectly until I reboot my computer



And dont say to reboot my computer, ive tried that.

Try reinstalling it?
S'what I always do.
It even works, sometimes.
Tried that.
Your PC is all modern and updated and such, right?
It could be conflicting with old software. Or something.
I dunno. I know nothing about computers.
Your best bet would probably be to phone up tech support.
