I can''t play the demo.

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

I can''t play the demo.

Hey all, I just (finally) finished downloading the demo after 14 gruelling hours (I have 56k, yippee!). So I installed it fine, and everything was going well untill...I actually started the game. I can view the Microsoft Game Studio logo thingie, but when that's finished, the screen just goes black, sits there for a while, and gives me that Windows had to shut down program, send eror report blah blah thing. So I really have no idea how to fix this. The error has something to do with the ntdll.dll file, if that helps.

Thank you.

BTW how does this board handle picture signatures? I.e how do you put one into your sig?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

Never mind, it turns out that all I had to do was remove the Digital Anvil logo/movie from playing and then the game would work.
