Can't open the program after installation

bgstmetfan · 09-23-2009, 10:25 AM

I download the setup exe
I install the program
I try to open it, and... nothing happens. I check task manager, and it doesn't register that the program has been open. I just formatted my hd and installed windows 7.

I managed to fix it... I hope the following information helps other people:

right click on the icon
click properties
click compatibility tab
check off "run this program in compatibility mode for:"
choose windows xp

That's a known problem which will be fixed in OOTP11... there is an easy work-around: right click on the shortcut and select "run ad admin..."
