I installed the universal and it asks me to create an account! I DON'T WANT A NEW ACCOUNT, thank you very much, but I've got one. How do i log in?

type in your existing account info in the boxes.

since its a new install of the game, you've never logged in with it and thus it doesn't know your account info yet.

as long as you put the same account name and p/w in as what was on your other computer you'll be ok

well...as long as the server hasn't recycled your account due to being inactive.
but nothing you can do client side can effect that since its all server side stuff.

given how empty the game has been for most of the past 2-3 years, i doubt it would have gotten recycled.

I don't know how to fix it because I've never had that error before. See if you can update your directX files or reinstall them.

As far as bringing back a world, you'll have tp either get the original files from the first world owner. or you'll have to remake it yourself.

Use the older version, that happens on ATI stuff it seems.

http://theuniversaldownloads.com/GalaxyInstall0544.exe

I have no idea why, and I don't have much time to try and figure it out, but the older version seems to work.

Thanks, but I am afraid to say it still does it.
