SYMPTOMS
========

When you play Microsoft Asheron's Call on Microsoft Windows XP, you may receive
the following error message:

  Client has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
  inconvenience.

If you click "click here", a dialog box is displayed with the following
information about the error:

  Error Signature
  AppName: client.exe AppVer: 1.0.x.0 ModName: <ModName>

where <ModName> is Decal.dll, Inject.dll, Decalnet.dll, or
fearghalfilters.dll.

If you are not running Microsoft Windows XP, the game may quit, but you do not
receive an error message.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur when you use a third-party add-in module with Asheron's
Call. The add-in module interferes with the normal operation of the game.

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem, disable the third-party add-in module, or contact its
manufacturer for an update.

A popular third-party add-in module used with the game is named Decal. To disable
Decal, right-click the Decal icon in the Windows notification area (looks like a
silver AC logo), and then click Exit.
