What is the file extension?

It just says file type...file?  I opened it with notepad.  I even turned on show file extensions and it just doesnt have one or I dont know how to see it.  The other files in the folder are .das.  Assuming those are saves.

Unfortunantely, that line of thought didn't pan out.  Oh well, thought I was on to something.

Anyway to emulate a laptop/pc to thinking it's using a quad cpu?

well, if the people making the game thought that way maybe we wouldnt be here on this forum trying to pound square blocks into round holes...cheers

Next line of thinking: I am noticing two reoccuring errors--an HHCTRL access error, and an ntdll.dll error.

Both would seem to indicate Dragon Age is trying to access something on the computer that the computer is not allowing it to access, or that the game itself is not set up to access.  Seeing as many people are reporting an upgrade to Windows 8.1 is fixing this, I wonder if there is a configuration error with Windows 7 that Bioware did not take into account in their development environment, perhaps even a DRM issue.

The more I dig into this problem, the more I am convinced this is a developer-side issue that will require a patch and we are all banging our heads against the wall for nothing.

I've seen the same errors actually...at least the HHCTRL one , not sure about the dll, but yeah i think you nailed it cause I got two win 7 systems, one it works on and one it doesn't.

After two days of endless tinkering I finally got the game started and playing! Had to completely refresh my pc and reinstall Origin & DAI from disc as well as update my drivers. For fellow NVIDIA users consider installing this : http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers/results/79957 , if you have a Geforce 710M graphics drive like me, it says in the description its designed for games like DAI. Also disabled Origin in game for the first launch, but have it on now so not sure if that did anything. Hope this helps someone!
