Bf3 Probs

I know you said you already tried running both exe's as admin but i believe i had this problem and fixed it by actually changing the exe's properties in the "compatability" tab at the bottom you can set the priveledge level run as admin...I think that sorted it but i had to do it on both the bf3 and origin exe.
Also make sure you have it allowed through your router.

Mik could be on to something there, everything you've said points to it being privilege related. I couldn't think why a hardware issue would just affect software privileges.Mik wrote: I know you said you already tried running both exe's as admin but i believe i had this problem and fixed it by actually changing the exe's properties in the "compatability" tab at the bottom you can set the priveledge level run as admin...I think that sorted it but i had to do it on both the bf3 and origin exe.

Have a go at Superantispyware and then Malwarebytes. The first one will find something to clean out and improve general performance, and the second one looks for anything more menacing.
Avoid registry cleaners, etc, like you would a Dremel teeth clean.

What about your own windows account setting? Are you definitely an Administrator and not just a Power User, or something else? On saying that, you wouldn't be able to install something as an Administrator if that wasn't the case...
It's defininately your own account you're logged into, you haven't logged in as one of the youngsters as part of some auto login?
Have you changed something recently in your Parental Controls for the youngsters which may also be affecting your account?
Do you use OpenDNS or similar to control internet access and it is blocking your use of online gaming?
Turn off your 733T H4X...

Looks like I might have cracked it.....
Read on one of the many useless forums to turn UAC on and then off.
So, turned UAC on, up to the highest setting, rebooted and then found that I could n'y even open folders without an error message popping up. Not the normal UAC message, but a red cross job.
So I then rebooted into safe mode (with networking) with a sinking feeling that I'd made things worse.
But once in safe mode, I was able to turn UAC off again, and thought I'd try to install BF3 off the disc just for giggles.
At present it seems to be installing fine. Will let you know.

I've empptied a SATA 250Gb drive to play with later, might even try a dual boot, stick win7-64 on the new drive so it's using the whole 6GB RAM.
Just annoyed I can't find the problem. I don't like giving up
I've tried several Windows tweakers things. Might give Yamisoft a quick go though.

Well I had a game of BF3 yesterday afternoon, first time in 2 weeks. There was an Origin update which installed. I joined a server and lost connection rejoined and had the same fault. Joined another server got disconnected with something went wrong error!
Rebooted the PC and all was fine. I'm starting to think that Bobs problem is Windows related and something got corrupt when his PC crashed.
