backup your netman.dll from your PS-folder and copy the netman.dll from your windows-system folder (system/win32 i think, depending on what windows you run) into the PS-folder.
the game should run now.
but if you then want to run the updater, you\'ll have to remove netman.dll from the PS-folder, run the updater and then copy the netman.dll file back and overwrite the newly created (by the updater) one.
that\'s what worked for me.
!!!!do not delete the netman.dll in your windows-system folder!!!
