Hi,
Are you referring to this forum thread?

We cant see anything in the server logs that indicates that it is the server dropping you, however, we can confirm that your sessions are ending after being logged in for approximately 6 minutes each time since 2009-10-28 13:16:09.
We dont know the exact reason why you are experiencing this problem. We suggest you follow these steps to sort this out:
1. Do a complete uninstall of Entropia via the Control Panel > Add/Remove programs
2. Delete the folder “Entropia Universe” manually from C:\Program Files if it is still there
after the uninstallation.
3. Uninstall everything related to Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
4. Delete your Windows temporary files
First, you will need to delete the standard Windows temporary files:
Click on the Start button.
Click Run.
Type temp into the available text field and click OK.
In the new window that opens, click on Edit at the top and choose Select All.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
When prompted if you are sure, choose Yes to All.
Next, you will need to delete temporary files specific to your login:
Click on the Start button.
Click Run.
Type %temp% in the available text field and click OK.
In the window that opens click on Edit at the top and choose Select All.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
When prompted if you are sure, choose Yes to All.
When you've finished emptying your Temp folders, be sure to empty your Recycle Bin:
Locate the Recycle Bin icon on your Desktop.
Right-click on the Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recycle Bin.
This may take a few minutes if there are many files.
Try deleting the files in these folders:
For Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Entropia Universe
C:\TEMP
C:\Documents and Settings\"YourUser"\Local Settings\Temp
Delete all patches in this folder, the ones that start with “Update”...
C:\Program Files\Entropia Universe
For Windows Vista:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Entropia Universe
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Users\”Your User”\AppData\Local\Temp\entropia
Reboot your computer and then install Entropia again.
Kind regards,
Entropia Universe Support
