Looking to trade the bottom for something you need... let me know what you're looking for via a PM.

I need to get my son geared up; not looking for the ideal items per slot but close... will consider just about any combination of T5 items.

On the other hand I am looking for ideal items for the following slots:

• Hands
• Arms
• Legs
• Chest
• Cloth Waist
• Cloth Chest

Will consider trades for the monkey statue that unlocks pet slot increases and adds one slot to your current control count.

My son and I have been disconnecting off and on since joining Pandora. I've noticed others having similar problems; some posted but mostly new players asking for help in game chat. A few people tried to help but every solution was either wrong or incomplete. In one conversation a veteran stating "you get use to it".

The intent of this post is to get true solutions into the field as we are surely losing players to this simple but elusive fix. IMHO we need to be able to help new player's in-game and not depending on them coming to the forums. Once they see how helpful you all are they'll be more likely to stay and join the forums.

Let's start with incorrect or partial solutions.

• As far as I can tell neither utility (Razor, UOA or UOS) is a cause or solution to discos.
• At best, running either utility as administrator only reduces the frequency of discos.

The following fixes Win7 discos and possibly Win8; if you know of other fixes post them so we can address all platforms. We use UOS but they should all be similar in the following:

• Right click your utility (Razor, UOA, UOS)> select properties> select compatibility.
• Check box 'Run this program in compatibility mode'
• Drop down menu select Win XP SP3
• Disable desktop composition (this was the main element for our solution)
• Check box or run manually as administrator. 

So far neither my son nor I have had discos since doing the above. Hope this helps you and please get the info into the field.

Enjoy your game!

Cheers!

My son and I are really enjoying your server and the people we've met so far. We're out of the Northwest for now, Hillsboro Oregon. "I've never seen it rain so much"

I played UO for nearly 5 years from release, Napa Valley. While I remember a lot so much has changed or been added; it's like a new game.

Anyways, here to show my son where it all started and create some adventures!

Enjoy
