I'll delete the file and run patchersetup.exe again. However, I've done clean installs with no luck with the text.
I have not contacted support yet. I always check the forums first before doing that. I guess thats the direction I need to go next. Oh well.... Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
Some thoughts on why it could be happening on our computers are: 1.) We all have incompatible video cards. 2.) Something is wrong with the patcher corrupting files. 3.) Issues with our hard drives ( bad sectors, etc. ).
Anyway, you've seen the pics so you know I'm not a troll and this is not a Hoax. However, we have spent too much time on this issue and I feel bad. It's just a game. I'll open a ticket with support and if that doesn't work, I'll move one. It's not a big deal. Thanks again everyone for trying to help. I'll be getting a new rig this year anyway and I'll try again.
