Worldofgoo.exe has stopped workingbazz.smith04/19/2009 - 05:13

Help Please

I have installed the download version of worldofgoo.  It runs fine from the Installation ie if I select the "get dirty" option at the end of the install.  Then when I exit and try to run from the desktop short cut it fails to load and I get the error "worldofgoo.exe has stopped working" and Windows stops the program.  Any ideas as it appears I have bought a game that does not work.

I am running Windows Vista on a Toshiba satellite laptop.

'Get dirty'? :o
Do you have the 1.30 patch?
Did you download it from 2dboy.com or did you get it elsewhere?
Other than that, It is probably a hardware issue.
