I did have FF open the first time around, so I made sure it was closed.
The first options with 1 in the full screen=1, and forcefullscreen=1 gives me the first error of:
The display card does not support (1024x768x16BPP)@60Hz, followed by the other errors as mentioned in the bug report thread.
When changing the settings to windowed, and 0 in the full screen options, it freezes in the taskbar with just music playing - also with FF closed.
I don't think it's going to work on my netbook (XP by the way - forgot to mention that first up).
Thanks anyway LadyCFII. I will have to unfortunately miss out on VV5 as the change to 800 x 600 resolution also freezes it in the taskbar. Very sad day.
Edit:
I think this is the issue:
System Compatibility
Windows System Requirements
* Windows 2000, ME, XP, Vista, Windows 7
* Download size: 80MB
* DirectX 7.0 or later
* 1024x768 or larger display * 512MB of RAM (1 GB for most Vista versions or Windows 7)
* 700 MHz Processor (1 GHz for Vista or Windows 7)
I never bothered to check the system requirements as I own every game from LDW and they all worked. I don't have 1024 x 768 or larger.
