Won't even open.

I have recently downloaded OOTP 9 and installed it properly. My problem is that when I double click the icon to open it, nothing comes up, same goes for when I open it going through "my computer". I have tried numerous times and even tried reinstalling and whatnot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had to restart my computer after installing in order to get it to open. Have you done that?

I, also, am having this problem. I just spent good money for OOTP 8 and cannot get it to load. I have tried several ways (i.e. used the shortcut that was created by the startup program, tried going into "My Computer" and starting it from the OOTP 8 folder, and tried running it from the program file) to start the program, but none of them have worked. I have also tried restarting my system, as one of the replies suggested, but it also did not work. I am running Vista and am logged in as the administrator.

Even though you are logged in as an admin, you still have to right-click and "run as administrator" the first time.
