I just got the CD version, and am having a problem. When I get to the main menu screen I can try and select anything and when I click on say editor nothing happens. I've waited a couple of minutes and still nothing happens. When I do the task master it has [not responding] next to WinSPMBT. This has happened in both windowed and full screen. Occasionally this does not happen, but 9 out of 10 times it does. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I'm running Windows 98, PIII 550mHz

I'll assume the download version game ran fine, sound and all?
[If you did not try out the download game first - then try running with all sound off, including the interface click (page 2 of game options). I'll assume you have DirectX installed, but even so - start->run and entering dxdiag as the program to run there to test your DirectX settings may help]
Then I would try deinstalling, then reinstalling the CD version.
If this still keeps happening then
1) Deinstall, and then run the windows scandisk utily to defragment the drive, it will also find any lost clusters. Reinstall. Retry.
2) Same again - but this time try a surface check on the drive for any bad disk clusters. That test can take overnight to run, and on modern drives it is rare to find bad clusters.
3)If that has not sorted the problem, I would suspect a bad CD - return to shrapnel for a replacement. [ You can skip straight to this test by trying the installlation on a different machine - a friend's say - and if it works there, your box is the problem, if it fails, then it is likely a bad CD ]
