game doesn't go past char select

[thermal]

I can select a character, and the game goes to the loading screen (the one with the planet in the center and the pictures at the bottom that fill in as it loads), but it just sits on this screen forever. The client doesn't freeze, just won't fill in the last block and finish loading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running:
Intel 2.8Ghz hyperthreaded, 1.5GB RAM, GeForce Ti-4200 w/ 128MB, windows xp, direct-x 9.0c, >1.5GB virtual memory

Please post the last 20 lines of your client.log - maybe we can see where it stops...

works if I disable sound, but who wants to play a game with no sound

Hmmkay....

What soundcard do you have?
And did you try disabling EAX?

[thermal]

EAX was already disabled.

Tried 24 tracks instead of 28 and it works now /shrug

thanks for your time
