Hi,

I just bought/installed OOTP 10 and can't get it to start. It opens the initial loading screen with the spinning ball, then crashes, closing the program.
Running the exe with the tracemode option (FYI, the shortcut for running in tracemode wasn't set up properly by the installer, the argument "tracemode" is in the quoted path of the ootp10.exe instead of outside the quotes), I generated a log file:

Wed 15th Jul 02:25 startup loading facegen & opengl...

In another thread, I saw it mentioned that I could disable facegen initialization by renaming the facegen directory. I did this but it generates the same debug output.

I'm using:
XP
have tried both the original and original plus patched game
1.8 GHz Intel and ATI RADEON 9700

I would like to try uninstalling/re-installing but the program won't even run enough to be able to unlicense. I don't want to re-install and lose a license for no reason. If I uninstall, is the license preserved on the machine when I re-install without using the 2nd install license?

Thanks for any help
