On #2: It does matter if you have fundraised in the state before. The money man effects the Potential in the state. So for instance if you don't have much awareness in the state you are not going to see much of an increase. Same as if you have already "tapped" the state. So if you have been fundraising there before, then your potential is still pretty low. So even with the money man you are not going to see much of an increase. Just

Reply to Crash after Intro sequence in Political Machine Stardock Forums

The game keeps you from quitting until it has finished loading. What most likely happened was that you quit while it was loading and it corrupted some of the files it was bringing in. If you wait a minute or so (depending on machine speed) the button will not be grayed out and you can quit cleanly. It shouldn't take as long the second time as it caches the files from the last time.

Reply to Some suggestions and observations in Political Machine Stardock Forums

For the first 'Other Thing', it depends on the type of ad. If for instance you have a newspaper ad and then in the next state over you flip sides on the same issue with another news paper ad, then they will not effect each other as they only reach the boarders of that state. However if you place a TV ad, that is a national ad, changing sides will essentially undo what you just did. Also the suggestions might have a better home in the ideas s

Reply to arrrggghhhh 800 by 600 and 1000 by 800 HELP! (can't get game to play on second monitor) in Political Machine Stardock Forums

If you set the "smaller" monitor to be your primary just before you run the game it should pop up there (especially in windowed mode). Also if you have any MultiMonitor managers such as NVIEW or something, you can have it pop up new windows on which ever monitor you like. So you can probably set it to pop up new windows on the secondary monitor and then run polMachine with the "w" switch and get it to show up there. Just curious, when XP is

Reply to SD Central stops loading in Political Machine Stardock Forums

It sounds like when you quit SDC its not totally unloading. Due to its multi-threaded nature, if a piece of SDC is still loaded it will cause the other parts not to load. Please delete the contents of your \program files\stardock\sdcentral folder and install SDC again. (it should pick up on everything that you have already installed. Then updated it to build 61. This is the one that was released today. It should get you all fixed up.
