to avoid a crapload of stale turns please help

[djtool]

i was multi-playing with a friend tonight (he was directly connecting to my computer) and I while I was waiting for him to finish his turn I was completing my turns on mosehansen's site. after closing that third dom2 window I recieved the nagot message on all of my open dom2 windows. Now I cannot start the game at all (dom2 not the game my friend and I were playing). is there a way for me to fix this w/out a reinstall? just curious.

oh yeah. when trying to start the game a .txt file is genereated in my dom2 folder. it reads

' Något gick fel!
Failed to create temp directory properly (already existed)'

There's some crap in your temp directory.

Go to your directory:
C:\DOCUME~1\DJTOOL\LOCALS~1\TEMP

You will see a directory, domXXXXX, where XXXXX is some numerical crap.

DELETED!

Problem solved.

i cannot find any such directory...even after doing a file/folder search.

I did however find some 'prefetch(?)' files that are in my widows directory? somehow I think those are realted to the web though.

**update**

if I reinstall the game and load it up under its original install (2.11) then It seems to work ( i can't get past the cd-key request...my manual is at work atm). when I patch to 2.12 then I get an error tone and i'm kicked to desktop.

Which Version of Windoze is this?

exxx-peee

well i loaded up the game in ver 2.02 and entered my keycode. I was thinking perhaps because I was trying to patch before verifying ownership that it was causing the error. However I was incorrect it still will not load as ver 2.12

also doing a system restore of the previous day didn't work.
