So I looked through the forums a bit and none of the solutions seemed to fix this for me. I tried a few different things but nothing seems to make the game playable.

Here's the deal so far;

I d/l the new version (2.0.0) and installed it. When I try to run the game it says it stopped working before I get even to the game screen. The game won't launch period.

I tried run as admin, and all the different little compatibility settings in the properties tab and nothing changes this.

I then tried to use the config menu and turned on "Use OpenGL 3d"

With that option the game launches. When I reach the title screen however, the mouse leaves a trail. So then the screen becomes all colored in with the mouse icon and the screen flashes, it's unplayable.

I'm not sure what else I can try, but I think I remember that the game ran and played on this computer before this updated version.

Anyone got any ideas?

thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm using Windows 7 64bit

Did you install the game outside the Program Files folders? If not, try that.

That did it, many thanks for the fast reply and easy fix!!!!
