Start Goo -> Nothing HappensNax11/06/2008 - 20:35

World of Goo seems to work fine on my laptop, but I can't get it to work on my desktop.

When I click on the application exe or on the shortcut, nothing ever happens.

I see WorldOfGoo.exe in the task manager, always around 3k memory usage, but I can't see it in the task bar, I can't alt-tab into. Nothing. No sound, nothing. Zero CPU usage from the task, etc.


My Laptop is:
Windows XP Media Center
HP Pavillion dv9000
2 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce Go 6150


My Desktop:
Windows Vista x64
Intel Q9450
4GB RAM
EVGA 790i Ultra
9800GX2's Quad-SLi
ASUS Xonar D2

It's a bit difficult to diagnose with the info given, so I can only suggest the usual steps..

Try Running in 32-bit compatibility mode, try disabling firewall/av software and reinstalling, try trashing the pers.dat file...

Hope this helps and let us know how you get on.
