Hi, tonight at home a trip switch went off and my PC was shut down which was running EVE. After resetting the trip and booting the pc i tried to run EVE again. It hangs now on the Trinity splash screen and the task manager reports EVE using 54mb and this is where it stops.
Any ideas?

Run a disk check, and if nothing works, try to reinstall the client perhaps?

Most likely a game file that was being loaded from the hard drive got corrupted. Easiest way to fix it would be a clean re-install of the game.

if you're on windows (obviously):
Click Start > Run
type "cmd", press enter
type "chkdsk <driveletter> /F /X /R"
a good example would be:
C:\> chkdsk D: /F /X /R
(replace D: with the drive letter where you have EVE installed)
If you're scanning the boot volume (and also in certain cases), chkdsk will most likely say that it's unable to dismount the volume, you'll be asked whether or not chkdsk should perform the checks on next system boot, press Y, reboot, and watch it do the checks (and fixing any problems, if any).

Just a shot in the dark: updated your drivers lately? Is DirectX 9.0 or later installed?

It may be corrupted Cache files,
check here for the location of those files:

You may want to backup these first, as with all files you remove ;-)
These files sometimes are left behind after reinstall of EVE so remove the cache and try to start EVE again.
Hope it helps

hmm strange.. nuked the cache folder and all CCP related files. But i did notice something very strange when looking thru that thread..a guy said check your system clock, and by chance i knew i had a few problems before with apps not updating cos the clock set itself to 3008.
So looked and it was, reset it, reinstalled and now i can get to the login screen, except Trinity is down right now :P, anywho, I think this may have fixed it.
Question tho, why does my clock set itself to 3008? Its a legit copy of XP I stole from work har har. :P
