When I click the desktop icon it shows the splash screen, then the whole screen goes black.. and it returns me to the desktop. It doesn't even show an error. What could possibly be the problem thats causing it to drop me right back to my desktop after showing the splash screen and then going black? Also, I have an AMD xp 2800, radeon 9800 pro, 1 gig of pc2700 kingston ram, and Asus a7n8x deluxe mobo. This is enough to play the game because I can play the demo. The full version won't run though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try another cdrom? never had the securom problem so i dont know if that is what happens but maybe? also did you buy the game? perhaps that would also cause a problem @_@ no accusations
That's just Sierra asking for you to return their quality game title.

Yes I did buy the game. And the only play disk is disk number one. Any other suggestions?

Tried another CDROM drive, still did the same exact thing. Do you know of who I could contact to get this resolved. Its really annoying to buy a new game with hopes of playing it, only to get home and realize that even though your computer is perfectly okay, it just decides to not play. Thanks for all of your help.

Lotsa info on SecuROM set up for you here: http://community.vugames.com/WebX?14@127.s24fdQE90sf.9 081538@.1dd86fae
This is an issue I'm all too familiar with and saw it coming a mile away.
Good luck.

Well, I found out how to "solve" the problem, even with my legit copy lol. Whoever was in charge of putting securom on this game is retarded. The serial key is by damned enough.
