I wonder that myself, someone might know. But it is not too surprising that the game will not work when you havent gotten to the step of applying the Nvidia patch yet.

I've just checked registry

Seems registry is back to normal or original.

I've started back with a fresh install, I have found this each time I tried each bit of help separately

1: Without any updates the game drops
2: With 1.02,1.05,1.07 , nvida : The game drops
3: With registry edits: The game drops
4: with everything in GoBucks post: The game drops

This is my sixth attempt though with no success :( ,
I must be doing something wrong but I dont know what :oops: :helpsmilie:

No it doesn't, as this is a fresh install, nothing else has been added or downloaded.

I've followed each bit of help as carefully as I can
I've tried each step:

one by one each time is the same result: links fires up and drops
To be clear

fresh install: fire links up loads but drops
add patch: 1.02 : fire links up loads but drops
add patch: 1.02, 1.05 : fire links up loads but drops
add all three patches: fire links up loads but drops

add each update oner at a time then the nvida patch: fire links up loads but drops
add 1,02 and registry edits ,no nvidea : fire links up loads but drops! with nvidea : fire links up loads but drops
add 1.02, 1.05 and registry edits ,no nvidea : fire links up loads but drops! with nvidea : fire links up loads but drops
add all three patchs and registry edits: fire links up loads but drops

I think you get the idea :rofl: , I've done each different way possible , I'm on my 12th attempt with a fresh install :helpsmilie:

I posted about that, It didnt work though?

You suggested to keep trying , I did for an hour, of rebooting my computer at each attempt, nothing worked
I should say, it loaded but dropped each and every time :rofl:

So since it didnt work, I've started a fresh, with a fresh install
