I seem to be having some issues with playing as a character, I can log in with my regular password and username just fine, but when I try to select my character, the I get a bunch of ??? and a message that says that the 'existing connection was closed forcibly by a remote host'. And yes, I run the DBO program as an administrator. I'm playing on a Toshibia desk top using Windows 7 Starter if that helps any. Anyone think they got anything that could help me out some?

It sounds like you are having a connection problem. Try resetting your modem.
