Guest portly Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Was playing all morning, then all of a sudden after exiting the game, can't load it up again. Just hangs with an hourglass, cpu usage goes to 100%, no applications found running on CTRL-ALT-DEL, I see continuum.exe bouncing around on processes though. Uninstalled, reinstalled -- same thing. Help?

Help?Check the FAQ topic. Your answer should be in there. Nothing changed at all in the security settings, etc. I exited the game for about 10 minutes, then tried to re-enter to see this problem. I do recall that I did browse a website inbetween, it caused some popup .pdf error, and I needed to kill the IE. That's the only thing I remeber that could have changed anything.

JoWie Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 There is an exploit in Adobe Acrobat Reader & Foxit PDF Reader that allow execution of executable files embedded within PDF's (may have been patched by now). So maybe you had a virus which tries to inject a DLL into every application (like continuum) or something similar. I had that same issue when I had Comodo Internet Security installed. You can break that infinite continuum.exe relaunch loop by simply renaming continuum.exe to something else btw.
