lynthorpe: I have the same problem. I bought the bundle with Harveys New Eyes and that works fine it's just The Breakout which won't start. I've downloaded the Java update when it popped up during installation so I don't think it's that. Also tried running as administrator. I get the start window but then nothing. The game simply disappears and does not show in the Task Manager. I'ev repaired the netframe thing(????) whatever that is! I have restarted my PC as well so am out of ideas now. I am running a Dell Inspiron laptop on Win7.
