Won't Start

[gibbylinks]

I've installed and tried both versions 2.0.2 & 1.10.8 and can't get either version to start. I get a black screen for a few seconds and then it returns to windows.

• I have tried to find info by searching the forums but no joy.
  There is no config file in the bzflag folder in my documents.
  I have also tried re-installing both versions & removing the bzflag folder in my documents.
  I am running WIN XP with SP2 and have Norton Internet Security Installed.
  My documents folder is on a seperate drive to windows.
  I have Direct X 9c & the latest Nvidia Drivers installed.

It works on my Linux !!!!

Try running with debugging turned on (-d) and see what you get. You can also heighten the level of debuggin with extra d's: -d -dd -ddd -dddd.

Delete your personal bzflag files, that folder and it should work again. (had the same problem like)

Tried deleting the bzflag folder in my documents, no joy.

As for reinstalling windows, isn't that kinda drastic !!!!

Try installing the latest Nvidia drivers for your graphics card.

Just re-installed latest drivers from Nvidia, no change......
