Mine launches and n othing happens. Then it gives me the message that it has failed and asks if I want to send error report to Microsoft. What is up?

You are doing better than me. I dont even get an error message.

Well, I have windows XP, and it runs fine. It ran fine with 1.07, and with 1.16.

Evidently the choice of OS is not the problem. Possibly drivers, hardware, 3rd-party software?

Or perhaps a combination of software and OS.

Edit: Had discussion with GeniX. It was all a misunderstanding, he/she posted before noticing my post. Ok, please no more..now :)
