My OS is Microsoft Windows XP professional, System type X-86 based, not sure what else.  I updated the game fully like I said before, but it seems it just will not work.  Bit torrent doesnt work for me, so I tried mirror 0 and downloaded from mirror 2.  I still have the file from Mirror 2 but you know that tool to verify its what it is?  I downloaded it and not sure how to run it.  Double click makes a dos screen open and close super fast so I cannot see what happened.  ANYWAYS, I just want this to work it looks like a brilliant game.

Edited::: Oh ok, didnt see you type that.  I will indeeed download the patch and try again.  Guess I should UNINSTALL the game first huh?  Ill re-post after.  Thanks.
