wipeout:
I'm installing release version (it's the same except few registry entries as 7600), x64, right?

Then first thing I do is installing Eufloria and look, what will go wrong (it didn't on cooked 7600 builds, but).

Hi. Here I am on windows 7. I haven't installed anything - I type this in IE, for example.

I launched release game copy (not from steam, sorry), but from developers.
I've installed it most default way.

It launched succesfully, but looks fscking ugly.
Investigating...

hm prob why mine wont start :P :) but ya i tried it at work today on a few pcs that all got a clean install from 7600 5 out of 12 failed to be able to start it >.< all just clean install with the steam download tried demo to same thing all 32 bit and i tried 5 64 bit ones no problems on then(just dont have enough 64 bit pcs to try it on)

the xp pcs on the other hand run it fine yet i cant go play on them as there used for the helpdesk >.>

anyway i dont know what to try next as a clean install of xp sp1 then upgraded to sp3 works(but my net wont work on it so can only try the demo dont ask why its to long to explain :P) for the game but it crashes so thats a start but it seems to me its just something to do with some dll missing somewhere that causes it not to load as thats what happens with most of those errors from programs >.<

Ok, I've updated video drivers and Eufloria runs pretty ok.

Well, I'm sorry I could not uncover this trouble for you - I've tested it on 7 7100 and 7600 with 9800GT and now on release with 8600GT - and never had anything like that.

Thank you for your patience.

Really strange, I'll advice it in these strange conditions.

BTW, am I free to remove W7 now?

You gather ten seedlings on one asteroid and press a button.
Maaan, constant crashing is no deal. If I could only reproduce it...

Ok, I just wiped out my openbsd hdd for it and am as unimpressed, as earlier.
