ninachan Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thank you very much! I have another problem now... I just checked how the game looked and it was really slow but that is probably because of my computer( fair enough) but whenever i tried to quit the game or even saving the game, the whole computer keeps on switching off... Is there any way I can avoid this trouble... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
