I just got it to work. I had a different companion. I went to the Kidnapper ship and while on the ship, I went to the quest screen and chose to reset the quest. once I did that, it changed my companion to Nadia and I am able to proceed.

I'm in the same boat. Nadia was a "guest" on my list when I left off pre-update. Now she is gone and I am stuck with the rest of you.

Much obliged. So a single high end card is my best bet. I can do that. Power Supply will be fine. How much do you think the 32bit OS is limiting things? I feel like if I get a 64 bit Windows 7 and 8 GB memory (instead of 4 GB) that it will make a big difference as well? Or really should I just put all the money into a new video card?

Okay, I could use a little advice. My rig is running "okay" but I would like a little better eye candy while I play, but turning it up is costing me a little too much performance. I've got about $350 or so to upgrade a bit and am curious which option you feel would give the best return on the investment (or if you can think of a better solution, feel free to share). My base information: ASUS P5N-D motherboard Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz 2X 2GB DDR2-PC2 6400 CL-5 Memory NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT And Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. So options.... I was thinking. 1) Finally ditch Vista for Win 7 64bit and replace my 250 GB hard drive with a SSD drive (have a 1TB drive in there as well for storage). Down the road a bit, I can add another 2x2GB RAM (does it need to be 6400 CL-5 as well for the best performance as well?) 2) Upgrade the video card with two SLI cards. This seemed to be the best bang for the buck on my budget: EVGA 02G-P3-1559-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card. 3) Uhh not sure what else I can do besides secretly trading this one in and get a brand new build in an identical case and hope the wife doesn't look at the budget. Anyways, out of those two options, which would you think would improve things the most?
