Loading the Game

DMosk007 · 10-29-2004, 03:08 AM

I am having the same problems with OOTP6 as I did with OOTP5. I successfully downloaded the new version (I hope), but when I double click on the icon, the cursor thinks for a couple seconds and then goes idol as if nothing had happened. I have tried many things, but is this a firewall/virus protection problem?

Please help. e-mail: atm7@duke.edu

thanks, andre

Can you give me a bit more info? As much about your system as possible and what you have tried? Thanks

hey

i have a Dell labtop
Intel Pentium III processor
1000 MHz
256 MB of Ram

I use Microsoft Windows XP.

Let me know if you need any other info. I've tried disabling kerio firewall, but not to much success.

What screen resolution were you trying to run the game at?

DMosk007 · 10-30-2004, 02:07 AM

hey, 1024 x 768 pixels

So am I understanding you to be saying that the game has been installed or have you not gotten to that yet? I'm just not clear on that. With this being a laptop have you updated your video drivers recently?

it is my understanding that the game is installed correctly. Just when I finally get to double clicking on the icon, nothing happens.

I'm unaware of any video driver updates. I'm pretty sure I have the latest DirectX installed and enabled.

I am experiencing the exact same thing with both OOTP 6 and ITP. I click on the Icon (or the .exe file in explorer) and the curser has a 'think' for about 1/2 a second and then it is as if nothing has happenned.

I am running XP (SP-2) and a desktop PC.

I have a P4
2.2 Ghz machine
Windows XP Home edition SP2 (build 2600)
Direct X version 9.0c

hey, so I was looking around the board, and I saw that the LicCtrl services thing was not enabled on mine either. I fixed that, and now it works, Thanks a lot!
