Need tech support - game won't open

tinga · 12-08-2003, 09:21 PM

I followed wildhawk's instructions in a previous thread to no avail.

I clicked on tb1.exe and the program just won't open. I am running XP with direct x 9.0 installed.

I think this may be a problem unique to my system as I remember several months ago trying to run the OOTP5 demo with the same results. That being said...I am a veteran of the board game and I would really like to get this game up!

Don't worry mate the Trunzos will release a patch for that in around 14 months time. These guys are faster than lightening.

tinga · 12-08-2003, 09:26 PM

thanks for the value-added commentary...

Andreas Raht · 12-08-2003, 09:28 PM

Don't worry: we will release a patch for that.

KING GIZMO · 12-08-2003, 09:31 PM

No probs Tinga.

I wanted to get this game for my girlfriends birthday. My girfriend was in her teens when this game was scheduled for release and now I'm applying for her state pension. She started turning into a fossil waiting for this game.

tinga · 12-08-2003, 09:31 PM

thanks for the reply Andreas...I will be checking the boards for that patch

KING GIZMO · 12-08-2003, 09:37 PM

However, I must say the game does look quite decent. I may even consider buying it after reading some customer reviews.

Anyone wrote any very early reviews for this game???

TC Dale · 12-08-2003, 09:42 PM

You might want to check and see if your Lic Ctrl is enabled in Win XP. That might be a solution.

KING GIZMO · 12-08-2003, 09:48 PM

Is this game available on CD? Cuz I need a new doorstop

LeeSkye · 12-08-2003, 09:50 PM

Same problem for me. I clicked on tb1.exe and the program just won't open. I am running XP Pro with direct x 9.0 installed. I tried to create a shortcut and still nothing. I'm sitting here with my credit card all ready!

You know King Gizmo....people are trying to get real questions answered here....

If you have a beef...start your own thread or go to another forum....its just not nesessary!!

tinga · 12-08-2003, 09:54 PM

can you explain how to check the lic ctrl function?

KING GIZMO · 12-08-2003, 09:54 PM

Sorry about that I'm losing the plot again. The last time that happened it resulted in a few threads being deleted. I just can't control myself. I sincerely apologise to everyone

Crapshoot · 12-08-2003, 10:00 PM

KING GIZMO, stop being a complete troll- its rather pointless.

IceTea · 12-08-2003, 10:00 PM

I did a search for my tb1.exe file and clicked on it and followed the instructions...........wow and it worked.

I have my first bout going on now. Dempsey and Marciano.

Aadik what was the point of that post, I've already apologised, You irredeemably insufferable cretin and depraved congenitally clueless cesspool of putrid effluvium!

tinga · 12-08-2003, 10:04 PM

*sigh* somewhere between all of these nasty posts I asked Dale about how to check to see if lic cntrl is enabled in XP...you still around my man?

Andreas Raht · 12-08-2003, 10:06 PM

yeah we're looking for it, i.e. TC is looking

TC Dale · 12-08-2003, 10:43 PM

If you are using XP go to your control panel look for Lic Ctrl icon. click that and see if your game is enabled.
