Crashes to windows, plus failure to load, CPU 100%.

Reporting the following problems with GA, thankfully, not yet game breaking.

Often the game will not load, it will freeze windows and report 'Not Responding'. This happens most often the first time we try and load GA, the second time seems to have cleared the issue. CPU reports 100% usage during this crash.

More recently I am getting crash to desktop and an error report when using the creator(its what i do mostly). This happened most recently when i tried to move an object on a Structure, Factory, of my own creation. Reloading repeated exactly the same result when moving the same object on the same creation, appears bugged.

Have you tried the EA Support site? Link's at the top of the page.

right click lsunch icon, and run as administrator (that usually gets rid of the 'not responding' part), allow it through firewall.

Although i dont yet have GA i have experianced some of the problems with spore freezing/crashing and occasionally windows itself crashing during play, i found that when i updated both my graphics card and my video card drivers all the crashs/freezes stopped so its well worth checking them
