Slitherine

Dell Latitude 2100
Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz
2 GB RAM
1024x600 (32 bit) 60Hz
Windows Vista Business
Intel 945 Express Chipset Family

I pasted the d3drm dll to the spartan.exe directory and to windows\system 32 directory and installed DX 9.0c.

I am running spartan.exe as administrator and in windows xp sp2 compatibility.

I deleted the movies subdirectory.

I STILL cannot get past the "0-50-100" "Loading/Laden" loading graphic.

Some useful assistance here would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear about your issue with the game
Where are you installing the game? Which folder?

I have tried installing in the program files root and separately in c:\
with paste of the dll and deletion of movie files (after 1st failed attempt)
Thanks very much 4 your help.

Do you receive any error message?

No, no message. It just hangs with the loading graphic. I wait about 10 mins after the disc reader stops accessing (5 sec of accessing), then I shut it down manually w/ task manager.

What do you mean with the disc reader? CD drive? Hardisk?

What happens if you edit/create a user.txt file in your installation folder's DATA folder, and add the line:

FULLSCREEN 0

This should run the game in a window and may allow you to see any error message more easily.

Cheers
