Fixed Game Client Bugs

I finally fixed a nagging bug in the Been There Game client that has been around for a while now.  On rare occasions, the client would crash and you couldn’t see the error message unless you used Alt+Tab first.  Well, with the help of a minidump file (a useful subset of information normally found in a full crash dump file), I finally found out what was causing the crashes!  The modifications that I made also fixed the issue with avatars not appearing sometimes.  To fix the problem with the prompt to create a crash dump file not showing up, I now make sure that the application is not running in a full screen window before trying to show the message box.  I was trying to display it over top of the crashed window, but it would not always show up reliably.
