Schrullenhaft, That service doesn't appear in the list of services you directed me to. I'll submit a ticket tomorrow as the previous poster asked, once I've got some spare time to gather up all the info it asks for.

Ok. 1. I un-installed the game. The un-installer failed to remove the main game exe file, which I had to remove manually. 2. I removed the already existing runservice.exe from the C:\Windows folder (a previous installation attempt must have created it). 2. I disabled User-Access-Control. Rebooted the machine. 3. I added the Installer to my AVG's IP trusted applications file. 4. I re-installed the game, having run the installer in Administrator mode. 5. Runservice.exe did not re-appear in the C:\Windows folder. 6. I tried running the game (again in Administrator mode). Same results, no change at all. 7. I put runservice.exe back into the C:\Windows folder. 8. I tried running the game/editor again in Administrator mode. No change at all. 9. I disabled the firewall. Repeated Step 8, still no change. I have AVG Internet Security 3-pack. Hoping for some help.

I un-installed it and re-installed it allow it to go into the default directory. No change. No error message of any kind.

I run Vista 64, with dual-monitors. Neither the main game executable, nor the editor will launch (though the un-installer will). I have tried running it as Administrator and it makes no difference. There is no error message of any kind, when I click on either the game or the editor the cursor (very) brielfy flickers (to a circle then back to a pointer) and nothing else happens. I can see no left-over process running either. I bought the game yesterday, installed it without any problems, but encountered this non-launching issue immediately thereafter (in fact, even from the installer).

I'm running Vista64. Just bought the game tonight, downloaded, installed it no problems. Go to run it (right from the installer in fact) and neither the game nor the editor will run. Click on the exe's the cursor briefly turns to a circle and then nothing. No process running in the process list (that I can see anyway), just nothing at all. Have run previous versions of SC without any problems. Is there some further information I can post that would be helpful?
