Vista hang on loading after character selection

[pdnolan]

Hi I am at my wits end, I downloaded the lastest english client yesterday and creating an account I now have the problem of the game hanging at the end of the loading bar after I choose a character to play.

I have trolled thru the numerous stickies in the support forum and tried every thing suggested for Vista users (admin rights etc) but all to no avail..

I am trying to run the game windowed using direct3d windowed 1024x786.

Running Windows vista ultimate 32 bit 2gig ram 64x2 dual core amd chipset 4200+ and a Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT.

As im using the onboard HD audio from my MB I have also tried with and without sound , it proved no change.

Any suggestions?
