[QUOTE="Cowpipe, post: 234556, member: 23820"] The actual error you're getting is what is known as "Integer Divide By Zero" which is basically a mathematical function which is impossible to calculate. So whenever this kind of function is encountered in a program (this could be by an error, or a deliberate way to stop the program), Windows shuts the process down. It could also be an Access issue which is to do with memory. Either way, this is most likely a very technical problem, possibly with the software itself that might be difficult for me to fix, short of making you a patch for paul.dll to bandage the error. I've done some research and it seems a lot of people are having the exact same issue like you say, so I'd like to investigate further. Is it possible for you to send me a copy of your paul.dll? I will analyse it and then I can check exactly where the error is occuring and hopefully tell you why, which will either enable us to fix it, or give you the ammunition to get EA to do something about it if I can't help for some reason (knowledge is power as they say and technical bug reports are the only ones taken seriously). You can send this through PM if you're concerned about copyright issues or privacy etc [/QUOTE]
