Sometimes --- when there are several windows open on my machine --- running it reboots the machine. Other times it runs perfectly (like right after a reboot). Sometimes, when it fails (particularly the first time after a fresh install of it), it corrupts the file system in a way that requires one to manually run fsck. The first time I used the America's Army, even the manual fsck couldn't fix the fs corruption: there was a message "unrecoverable softupdates error". I was able to mount the partition, back up my data, rebuild the file system, and restore the data. America's Army is a HUGE program (it uses almost 2 gig installed). Any suggestions?
