Game acting whacky

first off, ahvent played in a few months, i log on, run patch, and now every time i play game, i get maybe a few clicks in and the game will freeze.

if i minimize the game, and then reopen it, i can get in a couple more clicks and it will freeze again.

i tried uninstalling, only i couldnt find the game files anywhere on my computer, tried rerunning the game with admin access (running windows 7) and a box shows up saying certain files cannot be found and that i should try reinstalling.

i try reinstalling, uninstalling, and installing again (between each step again trying to run the game) still doesnt work, tried a force verify and tons of other stuff ive been recommended.

can anyone help me? is there some sort of manual updates i have to apply or something? i would really appreciate any help so that i can get back in the game.

    1) Can you post a DXDiag report from your PC?

    2) Do you have any other software (AV/AM, Firewall, X-Fire, etc.) running in the background - and if so; what is it?

    ok, turned off xfire and it worked beuatifully, if a little laggy (though that was alsways true in ESD)

    Yep. It's been reported that XFire has been incompatible with the STO client since Season 4 launched.
