I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP and that's when the game stopped working. Could it be my graphics driver? (I tried running in Win XP compatibility mode, didn't work)
According to these, looks like you may need to grab an update to your graphics card driver directly from the manufacturer's website - what Windows 7 thinks is current may not cut it.
Thank you I'll post what I did in case someone else has the same problem:
I'm using Nvidia GeForce FX5500 which is pretty old and drivers for Win7 do not exist. So you have to install drivers for Vista and it works
Thanks so much
