I don't recall what I was running. I just remember it was a typical day and i was testing something about EAW.
It wouldn't be what I was testing that would cause it. Its a Windows issue. I was on Win10.
More recently another guy said hes using Win7 and EAW1.26 with an NVIDIA "GPU" on his laptop when he got this error.
But his buddy on a Win7 desktop can run fine.
I was thinking since it happened on both versions of windows, that it maybe the problem with an eaw.exe running in the background that never closed, while trying to launch/run another instance of eaw.exe.
maybe it clicked it too many times, since there can be a delay (a few seconds while Windows determines how to write the reg) when running EAW for the first time in the new folder position he chose on his HD. But IDK.
Until it happens again for me, I won't be-able to solve it.
