If someone e-mails you the answer please let me know (I will watch here too obviously). I'm having the same problem. Gary

I'm not sure if there is another issue but I do know heat can cause it to bounce back to windows. Are you overclocking your CPU or videocard? Even if you're not overclocking some of the newer vidcards can get pretty hot. If your case doesn't have good cooling/ventilation it can eventually cause you to get booted back to Windows. Try removing your case cover and turning a large fan on your system and see if it still bounces you out of the game. IF that fixes it, then you might consider studying some efficient case cooling methods..... (All fans blowing in same direction, fan in front to pull in cool air, exhaust fan(s), reverse PS fan (if it is working against front fan, Bigger CPU heatsink and/or fan, Vid Card heatsink and/or fan, custom blowers to focus air on hot spots....) Plus possibly lessening any overclocking. Good luck, Alan http://www.kiva.net/~akh/simshop.html
