hi all
i loaded the 7th anniv disk and now have problems....

whenever i type something i can not see it in the lower left corner of my
screen unless i choose the full screen option. If i choose full screen than
i can not switch back and forth between UO & say the Tower Of Roses website,
for when i am pricing bods.... Also, being able to see what i type helps
alot, since my typing skills are just above average and need all the help
they can get.

any advice, help or suggestions?
TIA!!
Paul

2D or 3D? The 2D client is just AoS.

I loaded both, I did not like the 3d so I am sticking with the 2D. Prior
to loading this i had AOS, and uninstalled it from the computer before
installing the 7th ann disk.... i thought that i had to do that.

Nope, in fact the AOS that comes on the UO7 disc is several months old so
you have to wait for it to patch up. A new EA Games registry key is
written but it serves no purpose - I deleted it with no effect. AFAICS,
installing from the 7th Anniv disc just makes you redo your macros and
options settings in-game after waiting for the old patches to be reloaded.

So from what I can tell. Instead of reinstalling the game once my 7th aniv
edition gets here. I should just punch in the reward code that gets me my
reward and my 6th char slot???

I just installed over the old program and then registered the new code
with EA. All worked fine and I lost on macros. Only thing I had to do
was rename the intor again to stop that mess from playing each time.
No patching was necessary either.
