Thank you very much for your quick response LadyCFII.

I went and tried all the fixes.

The first change in configuration didn't work, but force windowed it did open the game in the task bar and I could hear music, but when I clicked on the game in the task bar nothing happened.

It's eating up my trial time to wait too long to see what it does.

So I then went and checked all the settings, and I have everything enabled that it said I needed. My driver date is old, 08, but when I tried to update it said it's the most current available.

Is there any hope if it managed to at least open at the bottom of my netbook in the taskbar?

The error seemed to be the same as the one just posted in the bug reporting thread. It's a series of errors, and I can't type them out as they freeze the screen and now I'm not getting them, instead it's just frozen in the task bar and I need to use task manager to close it down.

Also, my highest resolution available is 1024 x 600. This could be the problem??
