I installed the game, used the beta updater, then used another update, 3.22 I believe. Whenever I click the icon to start WA, I see a load icon for like 1 second, then the game doesn't come on. In the top left area of my screen there is a box that appears there, its invisible, but if I move anything over it, it "wallpapers" it.

^That's how it looks.

It's annoying, I just want to play the game >_>

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

..I've reinstalled many times, same result. Followed tutorial, same result. Tried unique combinations of installations not following the tutorial, same result.

:eek:

Try updating:
- DirectX
- your video card's drivers
- your OS (Windows Update)
If you have any of these, try disabling them:
- anti-virus
- any 3rd-party applications related to the video card (tweakers etc.)
- any non-OS-integrated skinning applications like WindowBlinds
- any custom shells or shell UI extensions (virtual desktop managers, etc.)
Also try stopping all non-vital processes before trying to start W:A.

Buy the cd or get yourself a proper cd image. Yours is broken.

Not yet, evilworm, young... person. It may be a patching problem.
Read bonz's post. It's probably the most helpful so far.

Yeah, but it's best to try that first, rather than spending money on a new CD/image...

I may take you on that bet.

This may sound really stupid, but upon loading the exe file, keep clicking the mouse rapidly until you see some logos.

I doubt it'll work.

You could try the /nointro command line.
