gah setting the shortcut to run as admin by default doesnt work either, it seems command line is the only way

I managed to get the thing to run by running from a command line with administrator privileges pfft At least we now know the developers only test on full admin accounts rather than using standard user accounts (did you know a standard account gives a 15-25% speed boost under Vista?)

I've tried that and it gives the same error. I've even tried copy pasting the executable off my laptop onto the one on my main PC only to get identical results, as well as all the dll's. Infact run as admin doesn't even give me a UAC prompt, it just gives me the error dialog I screenshotted earlier. Its as if windows is unable to see the file at all and other than it being listed in windows explorer, there is no trace of it.

I've been running Twilight of the arnor fine for quite a while until I realised there was a .91 and 9.96 patches I hadnt installed. So I updated to the latest version in stardock central and went to run the game and got an error message: Deleting the twilight folder and reinstalling off the CD without an uninstall reproduces the error despite not doing an update.

Some Small improvements that give bigger gains in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

1) When I zoom out Id like to be able to view an entire galaxy at once, even on the bgigest map size. I can see perhaps the developers don't like this because then you have far too many icons on screen at once, so I have a suggestion. When you zoom out planet models change to icons. So, what if star systems changed into icons? When your zoomed out and can see 40+ star systems at once I'd rather see a medium sized icon with the name of a star or an icon with smaller race icons listed. 2)

Dark Avatar Campaign economy resource crash in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

When playing the dark avatar campaign I messed up bigtime on mission 2 so i decided to restart. But the second time around I noticed the nearby eco resources wasnt green, it was a big white square and had 'string not found' as its identifier. Sending the constructor to it and clicking the 'i' button for more info dialog generated a black screen with a messagebox saying the program ahd crashed from vista. My install has all the updates from stardock. gf8800GTS 640MB<br/
