The new mega update for EVE-Online, called Trinity, was supposed to include new ships and a new graphics engine, giving the world of EVE even more beauty. However, upon upgrading the client, Windows XP users found themselves quite fuxed. At first it looked like all windows XP users would have their Boot.ini file deleted, meaning that if they restarted their computers they would lose vital system components. People with this problem would need to reinstall their OS. It looked like if they had Windows SP2 they would be fine- but of course some people still had the corrupt Boot files. Me? I run windows media center. SP2. I seem to be fine, but who knows what insane twist will shake my computer. If any of you play EVE-Online, and have upgraded their Clients PLEASE read the thread link I posted above.

Says how to fix it here.

I downloaded Trinity last night. After patching the game and playing for an hour or so, I turned off the computer and went to bed. Next day I read about this at school and feared the worst. I came home and started up the computer, and it turned on as usual, even though the boot.ini file seemed to be missing. To be on the safe side, I went trough the forum thread Tartarus linked to remake it. Made a new one in Notepad and everything seems to be in order now.
I also have SP2, which seems to be partially immune to this.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
