So three weeks late I finally got my system back together and most of my applications re-installed. I had to reinstall Windows XP Home as it got corrupted. Both my 8800GTX card and one stick of RAM went bad at the same time. Strange coincidence . . . . I just installed all the Stardock software and I'm about to fire up TA to see how it runs with new memory and a new 8800GTS(G92)card. Crosses fingers . . . . .
The "work-around" no longer works. Upon trying to start TA, I get video artifacts and the game locks up after loading a saved game. TA is totally unplayable for me. I am going to have to completely un-install it as it is affecting my start-up of Windows. It causes video artifacts half the time I start Windows XP. When I get the artifacts Windows startup hangs and I have to power off the computer and try to start again. Debug Message: Version v1.80g Twilight of the Arn
I found a work-around. I merely set my monitor resolution to 1440x900 by right clicking on my desktop and bringing up Display Properties. I seem to be able to play the game at a resolution ingame of 1920x1200. I have started a new game and played a few turns without crashing.
I was able to play TA for a couple of days without problems. It started to crash during game play today Dec. 30th 2007. So I restarted, then it crashed on trying to load a saved game. Then I restarted Windows XP Home w/ SP2 five time to finally get it to gt tot he deskstop. Then I started TA and it crashed befoe I could do anything. I had to restart Windows about 6 or 8 timers to get it back to desktop. TA crashed immediately upon starting. The pattern was one of progressive instability.<
Twilight of Arnor crashes no matter what I try. It will not start a new game or load a saved game. I even tried uninstalling all files and re-installing everything. No luck.

Dec. 30, 2007 Game crashed while playing the Terran race. It will no longer load a saved game or start a new game. It causes graphics chaos and generates a sort of buzz through the sound device. After a crash it was difficult to reboot to Windows XP Home. I had to try getting into Windows 5 times before it would load. I'm going to try uninstalling and re-installing to see if that helps. Might be a corrupted file. My system consists of an Intel e6600 @ 3.3GHz, 8800GTX (driver: 6.14.11.692
Me too, 3 hour plus download . . . my time has no value.
I have been playing GalCiv2 and Dark Avatar for several weeks and can not figure out all of the factors which positively and negatively effect tax income of a colony. I believe that the type of government has an effect, approval rating, population, how many and type of factories, manufacturing capital, economic starbases and modules, . . . Are there others and which way would they effect the income. I just noticed that in my current game I am waaaaaay ahead in tech
I wanted to try Space Rangers 2 before risking my money on a game that I do not like. I downloaded the demo. I played the demo for under an hour (seemed like 30 minutes)and in the beginning of the combat training mission (about the 4th mission) I got a message that my time had run out for the demo! I may have wasted some time by going away from the game to answer a phone call or get a drink. However, I was not aware that I was on a timer with the demo. I assumed that I
