When starting the game (first "Please Wait..." splash screen), I get the following error message:

---------------------------

My copy was purchased through Steam if that has anything to do with it.

I had a look through the forum and a couple of people with this error meesage found that the game would run if they played full screen:

If you do want it in a window, you may have to play around with the winsetup. I'm not sure what the best settings would be though (it's dependent on your computer, I think).

I'd love to go full screen. Prob is? Once the beginnings of the game start, and I do mean once, the error pops up. No way to alter the settings of the game. Game starts in windows format.

By the way, I had already read through that thread, finding no help.

If you're playing through Steam client, Steam should have a popup to select 'full screen mode'. There are also setup options there.

OK. I confess. I'm stupid. Went hunting in game's directory finding winsetup. It works now.

When reading information, one should always follow them.
