ok so i downloaded and installed runes of magic last night but when i try and patch it i get ther WEIRDEST error EVER....

it tells me there was an error updating and if there a file named Matrix.exe in your library make sure it is compatible and not corrupt.

somthing like that,but i mean,DUDE WTF! matrix??

Not sure, perhaps you have a corrupted download and shoulkd try to obtain another.

 I'm having this same exact problem.

I think you should check this out.

A quote from that thread that stands out for me:

"Active Background and Screensaver. Doesn't appear to be harmfull. Crystal Reports doesn't like it though, so I would disable it if your doing graphics intensive work. Like with charts and graphs and stuff."

End of quote.

Btw graphic intensive work would also include running graphic intensive games.

You should check out the Runes of Magic Forums for help.  I remember a few threads there about it.

Not sure what this has to do with my issue.  The only virus scanner I use isn't active until I use it.  Also, my system goes well beyond the minimum requirements.

 In other words find the matrix.exe, even thought it may well just be an old screen saver it's still an annoyance.
