Hi again Carol,
I agree with you that people jumping in and adding to a thread can cause confusion
and perhaps as you've already remarked, it would be better if others refrained from
adding comments to certain circumstances.
But on the subject of the Registry entries in Frank's log pertaining to Ubisoft
and Gamespy, I suspect these are the necessary components that enables registered
users to play on their gaming networks. I don't play multiplayer games on either
of those, but I am an ardent online gamer and I know that Gamespy in particular requires
registration in order to access their servers.
One thing that users have to be
wary of with Gamespy though is that it tries to persuade you to install "Gator" and
we all know what that does. However, I didn't see any evidence of the latter mentioned
anywhere in Frank's log.
I suppose though that there's no harm in removing them just to see whether my
supposition is correct or not. If they're not necessary, Frank will be able to continue
playing. If they are, then I'm sure he'll be able to obtain the necessary data from
both companies in order to regain access to their networks. It would be interesting
to see whether those entries reappear in those circumstances.
