Does anybody know what might be causeing this? I can understand this happening if I am actually using the PC, but anymore it happens when my pc is not being used. I don't have any screen savers, and all my power settings are set to never shut down. I do not have any 3rd party programs running (other then winmysql obviously). I only keep 8 zones open at a time right now. I got a 1.7 gigahertz processor and 768megs of ram on this pc, surely 8 zones isn't too much? At one point I was running 11 zones without problems, however after getting these errrors I have went down to useing 8 zones instead. The only error I get is a window that says I had a buffer underrun error and that it needs to be shut down.

Sounds like a quest error. I used to have a buffer overrun when I had a hugo quest result like:

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
  {
  quest::say("Hi. This is the endless story and yada yada yada blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah");
  quest::exp(5000);
  quest::addldonpts(5,10);
  quest::me(" yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah yada yada blah blah");
  quest::scribespells(65);
  }
}

lol.
