Game re-activating itself for no reason.

[IbanezLaney]

So far I have not been able to get a mission to load and it sticks at 95%.

Over the course of trying to find a mission that will load and not hang on the loading screen the game has activated 3 times on the same machine. I have only installed it once and have not made any hardware changes.

Because it's the same computer and hardware configuration will this count as 1 or 3 activations???

Is plugging in/removing a joystick or changing a bios setting or updating drivers being counted as a hardware change ???

Is anyone else having the same issue?
