Running Windows 7 64-bit.
ATI Mobility Radeon 5730
Intel i7
4gb RAM.

Game installed and starts up fine. However, there is a persistent flash of sorts that almost appears to be a resolution issue. Disappears in windowed mode, but the desktop is unavailable.

Also, upon closing it appears to close background programs including essential ones.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sadly i can't help with the graphics issues, you could try new drivers maybe that helps,
or at least my experience is that this takes care of most quirks i encounter in various titles.

As for the other thing:
It seems like this is not a bug, but a feature, everyone got that.
What it does is closing the explorer, i'm having a wild guess here,
but i feel it got something to do with the windows that pop up when you rename something,
or when you safe the game for example.
It didn't touch any of my other programs though, just the explorer and open windows.

I think though there is help. The shortcut links to the "launcher.exe" the "RCT.EXE"
which you find in the directory into which you installed the game, does not do that.
I'm not sure about all the differences, but this is one,
and it also doesn't tell you that railroad tycoon is closing.

If someone got more info on that please tell me i like to know.
