Default Re: Game won\'t start

"grow up"? Windows is up from Mac OS-X or Linux and especially Solaris? I think amoung people who have used multiple OS's Windows is considered to be the "user" platform.

But anyway, when I did customer support for ISPs, and any good computer store, will have you try this....

Do a cold reboot of the computer. That means power it down, then turn it off (usually a switch in the back of the computer), then turn it back on. Computer stores tell of a growing number of "lockheed fixes" where the problem is gone when the computer it brought in. Thats because turning it completely off and back on fixes many things (such as allowing for the automatic hardware and driver checks, and fixing badly cleaned up memory changes from other software loading).

If that doesnt work you might try a fresh boot and then kill programs you have autoloading, then try. Just to see if there are conflicts.
