    Hey all,

    My new g73 came today, I installed some games on it first thing. I installed the following: Prototype, Borderlands, Mass Effect, and Age of Conan. Age of Conan crashes after start up every time, and prototype randomly crashes during gameplay. Anyone have any ideas on the problem?

    uninstall the two creative bloats, which are known to cause issues with games, EAC and Steam.

    Also, are you running stock drivers for your GPU or did you update it? If you have updated it, what version are you running?

    1) Ignore Hasib1522. His info on Creative's MB software is old and dated. (Kalim is missing so I can't pick on him. :) )

    2) Check the links in my sig for information on getting Cat 10.6 or later working (hopefully) with your rig, plus info on Creative if it's give you issues.
