Alright, so I've had this game for a week or so, and have gotten it to run ONCE. I have no idea why it decided to run last night, but it did. Before and since, tho, I haven't been able to make it run.

So I get all the way to the "Loading..." screen, and then suddenly my machine restarts. No blue screen o' death or anything-- just a reboot.

Below is the paste of my debug.err file. I'm only running XP SP1 because of a recent formatting, but will be upgrading to SP2 post haste.

Is there anything else I've missed...?

Thanx


Xae.
