hey there.... umm, can you maybe remember what you were doing just before it gave the errors for the first time?? i'm just wondering if you maybe installed something or uninstalled something else or if the error popped up DURING gameplay.... anything that might hint what caused the initial errors....if you can remember, please let me know
