------- Additional Comments From amd@store20.com 2006-17-04 02:46 ------- Could this problem be caused by color depth issues? I tried it under VMware and there it refused to work when bit-depth was 32bits. Unfortunately I couldn't test other bit-depths.
Seems like the game requires the display to be at least 800x600-16bits. Otherwise it doesn't start.
