I installed the game to the default location on my C: drive. It hasn't worked once - not even on the first try. I sent you the .TXT file you wanted. I read in the README.TXT that I might be using DEBUG DLLS. How would I verify which I'm using?
DarkStar and I have found the cause of this problem.
As far as we know right now, it effects Geforce4 Ti users. Until we decide on how we will fix this, please try rolling tour nvidia drivers back one or two versions, or wait for an update/patch.
