Crash on Startup - Win 7Tallguy05/07/2010 - 15:35


I am running Win 7 64 bit with 4 GB of memory.  I purchased the game with the Humble Indie Bundle.  When I launch it is shows some text, a testing screen, and then crashes.  The log file says:

Only thing that comes to my mind is: Are you running WoG as an administrator? If not, try it...

That worked! Thanks!

FYI for Windows 7 users:
It was crashing for me when I was using the Win XP compatibility mode AND starting as Administrator.  So I thought I had already tried it.  But when I removed the Win XP compatibility mode and the only Compatibility function was running as Administrator, it worked.

Thanks!

I know it works on an admin account, but I am unable to access that account all the time (family computer : /). My question is: does anyone know of a way to enable World of Goo to work on the non-admin account?

I'm guessing it is trying to modify something (the save file?) and is being denied...
