got it working but im not sure what fixed it..
i downloaded some optional vista updates and went on to the samsung website and found a driver for my dvd-rw.. after that it worked fine without me changing any of the settings on the shortcut.
- - - -
well i say its working - silly me put the graphics up too high and its not supported by my TV.. now i just get a black screen and i cant see to change the settings..
any ideas?
strangly iv tried re-installing to a new directory but my faulty settings are still there..
is there a safemode or any way i can manually change the graphics settings without running the game?
