I do accept e-mail so I suppose there is a chance I could have read a message with a virus by accident. I do take precautions though. It seems odd though that I'm not suffering problems with any other programs. Do viruses ever just work on one program like this?

I take it if I re-format I lose everything on my hard drive don't I? I have about 3.5 gigs of stuff on there that I don't want to lose and no cd-burner unfortunately. Not quite sure what to do now. I thought I'd been really careful about viruses etc.

It is actually possible it isn't a virus, sometimes things corrupt over time. It could be that TOB has installed to a bad sector on your hard disk... actually thinking of that if you go into scandisk and put it on standard. Then go to options (advanced or whatever it is) and make it check everything, there are a few options that are not on as standard. You might have some cross-linked filed that could be causing a problem.

Don't format yet, i thought this was a games machine only, if you can continue on otherwise then don't format.

Have you checked the known issues on Bioware or any of the technical FAQ's on their site. It might be TOB specific.
