Ok ive discovered a strange + slightly worrying problem lol.
Quite often while playing Eve ( + only playing Eve ) It causes my computer to simply restart .... No warning ... just turns off ... Im using a Radion 7500 ...
Anyone know what the problem is or How I can stop it ?

I've had this EXACT same problem a couple times, but it only seems to happen when I try to dock. I'm using a P4 2.6, 1GB RAM & Radeon 9800 Pro if that matters.

I again have the exact same problem... it only started recently. The error that is recorded in my error log is:
Event Type:Error
Event Source:DCOM
Event Category:None
Event ID:10003
Date:27/07/2004
Time:10:49:24
User:N/A
Computer:
Description:
Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server using DefaultLaunchPermssion. The server is:
{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
The user is Unavailable/Unavailable, SID=Unavailable.
IT always is a DCOM error as well... and only when you move around in eve... you can sit for hours in the same space... move into warp and you have had it...
Maybe a confilct between MS latest patch and EvE?

I've got DCOM services turned off - apparently it's not needed by the vast majority of XP users.

Yup, seems to a common problem but so far the devs have not said anything about it. It's most annoying, so much that i don't think i'll be subscribing :(
Not to mention that they don't take switch now!
Sods.

Ok guys and gals, thought I would do some digging
DCOM is the main point of attack for BLASTER and the varients of this nasty little worm. Being attacked by it can cause DCOM to fall over with a blue screen, complete re-boot or a nice little shutdown message (that never gets shown as eve sits ontop of it). Because DCOM is classed as a major component of WinXP, when it is asked to terminate windows will follow suite and shut down as well.
Suggest
1. Running with a firewall. XP's is ok for this & works fine with eve.
2. Applying ALL windows update patches, including SP1a (this problem was fixed a LONG time before the blaster worm appeared).
3. Virus checking your PC and run a background scanner (Norton AV 2004 or McAfee. I never turn mine off even if I am told to as it will not affect anything except virus's.
4. Remove any spyware from your PC
Stop jumping to the conclusion that eve is the problem.

Being an IT desktop monkey I know about the blaster worm and also that it was made obsolete by the Welchia version, (uses same weakness) being that if blaster installs itself, welchia comes along and removes blaster and takes its place... lol must be a virus coder in joke or somethin...
Anyway, my susspitions rose to DCOM becuase it left a log in the error logs at exactly the same time as I rebooted... Since beating DCOM with a big stick until it blead.. (disabling it) the error has not since returned in the error log, although eve still causes my machine to reboot or loose USB drivers...
My machine is running a firewall and virus protection always, not stupid enough to go online without them lol.
The problem must be with a eve either in the program itslef or the the latest XP patch not agreeing with it. I cant see it being the XP patch as the last one was installed weeks ago, before the issue arose. The only other explination is another security hole that a hacker is exploiting via the port eve uses, to send remote commands to us suckers hidden in eve netcode, although not being a coder or hacker I would not know how well, if at all, this would work...
So in answer to the 3 queries...
1. firewall is running, and always has been... I even locked it down to only alowing eve to access the net... still reboot...
2.XP cant be more uptodate :)
3. Virus checker and resident shield running and upto date.
4. Aint no spyware (spits) here. lol
So we/I am not jumping to the conclusion... it is something to so with eve... we just dont know what. The definate reason I know its something to do with eve is it only ever happens when I play eve. I can play/do anything else on or offline works fine... eve = POP! :'(
Thanks for the digging though :D most help we got soo far!! :D

Yeah this issue is realy starting to **** me off now ...
I'm running Norton + a firewall as suggested and it still happens ... As a few of you have said 'Only' when im playing eve ... no error messages computer just resets instantly :/ sigh.
Found an interesting point ? Im sure its something that is picked up while playing eve as if you re-install Eve you can litteraly play for 8 - 9 hours ( :p ) without it happening.... then it will occur again :( ... And after that its a lot more frequent ... I litterally managed to play for 15 minutes this morning :/...
As you can imagine I myself and im sure others resent paying allmost ú15 a month for a game I cant really play
