1) Get Impulse , log in, download, play. As long as the games are registered to your account (and they are as far as I can tell), you should be good to go. No need to re-enter your serial numbers. 2) Windows 7. There may be a slight learning curve coming from XP, but it's totally worth it.

Maybe he wanted us to watch Sex and the City 2 because of the Vivienne Tam netbook with a custom theme from Stardock that makes an appearance... http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2010/05/24/hands-on-with-sex-and-the-city-2-s-co-star-the-hp-mini-201-vivienne-tam.aspx

It's actually common practice for newer games not to delete settings like that when the game is uninstalled, just in case you want to reinstall at a later time. That way everything is still how you like it, with all of your saved games, etc. Glad you're back up and running, though! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

The save game files are in the following folder (you may need to show hidden folders first): XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Vista/7: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Try deleting any save games that are in that folder and see if maybe something was corrupt.

Try navigating to the following folder: XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting Vista/7: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting Try moving the 'user.settings' and 'diplomacy.user.settings' files to a different location, run the game again, and see if the issues persist.

Do you remember what the error was, exactly? In Impulse, click the blue question mark button (upper right), and select 'View error log'. Take a look through the most recent entries, and copy/paste anything that looks like an error and we'll take a look at it. My first inclination is to try adding an exception for Impulse to any security software you might have, or even temporarily disable it to see if that helps.

The way our MD5 system works (and this is an over simplication, I'll grant you, but it works for our purposes), is similar to taking a sentence, assigning number values to each letter (a=1, b=2, etc), and adding up the corresponding numbers to get a sum. That's your "MD5" (though the real MD5 creates a much more unique signature than that). Then tell someone that sentence, and have them write it down. If they misspell something, then when they add up the digits from th

sumwar: It's registered to your account, so there's no problem on that side, and you shouldn't need your serial number to install the game. Try closing Impulse and running the following file: http://sd.stardock.com/curthendzell/fix_registrations.reg Make sure to follow the link in Internet Explorer, as other web browsers will not handle the file type correctly.

I cleared up the OD problem, so restarting Impulse should fix that. If it doesn't, try closing Impulse and running the following file: http://sd.stardock.com/curthendzell/fix_registrations.reg Make sure to follow the link in Internet Explorer, as other web browsers will not handle the file type correctly. Once you follow the link, save the file and double click it to apply it. Then

Please do the following within Impulse: -Click the blue menu button in the upper left -Choose 'Preferences...' -Click the 'Reset Data' button -Close impulse and relaunch it. You may notice a long update time, which is normal as it is rebuilding the deleted info. If this does not resolve the issue, I would suggest uninstalling Impulse, rebooting your PC, and then reinstalling from the latest installer build here: <a href="http://www.impulsedriven

I'm guessing you're talking about Sins, right? To clear out your mesh files, you'll need to go into the application folder (right click in Impulse, select 'Open application folder'), and there are three different 'Mesh' folders. The first is in the root folder, and there may be two more, depending on which version of the game you have, in the \Entrenchment and \Diplomacy folders. Delete everything in those folders, then right click on the game(s) in Impulse, and select 'Verify Install
