C:\Program Files\Funcom\Anarchy Online\version.id

Open that file with Notepad or some other REAL basic text editor.

Change the text in it to <lastworkingpatch>_EP1 so for example 17.6.1_EP1.

Save the file.

Get the patch(es) (be sure to get the EP1 ones!!) from the following link

So if your last working patch was 17.6.1, get the 17.6.1_EP1 - 17.6.2_EP1 patchfile. (Direct link to the USA FTP and Norway FTP here :D ).

Execute that thing. See if after using this patch AO works?

If that didn't help, try changing the version.id file to 17.6.2_EP1 (current Live patch), and try to boot AO again. If that didn't work I wouldn't have a clue what would short of a reinstall :)

I don't Have this problem and I didn't hear of anyone else experiencing it at the moment in AP. i'll ask around and see if we can figure out something.

To be honest though, I think it would be faster to save your preference folders and then to uninstall and reinstall from a clean download. Yes it's a pain, but it's faster than searching for a solution for days and days.

You have no anti-virus? Get AVG free edition, it's working very well:

and add Spybot Search & Destroy for malware

Also some commercial products come with a bootable CD-ROM/disk allowing you to cure your computer even if it's already extremely infected (ie the anti-virus installation could be impossible)
