Here is my windbg output right before it quits: ModLoad: 773d0000 774d3000 C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.2600.2982_x-ww_ac3f9c03\comctl32.dll ModLoad: 58420000 58427000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\imaadp32.acm ModLoad: 72cf0000 72cf7000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msadp32.acm ModLoad: 58330000 58335000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msg711.acm ModLoad: 58300000 58308000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msgsm32.acm ModLoad: 582d0000 582d4000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\tssoft32.acm ModLoad: 73b70000 73b77000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\tsd32.dll ModLoad: 58310000 5832d000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msg723.acm ModLoad: 58340000 5838d000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msaud32.acm ModLoad: 582e0000 582fe000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\sl_anet.acm ModLoad: 581a0000 581d9000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\iac25_32.ax ModLoad: 58390000 5841a000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\l3codeca.acm ModLoad: 74f80000 74f8b000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\lhacm.acm ModLoad: 04e40000 04e46000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\scg726.acm ModLoad: 04e50000 04e5e000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\alf2cd.acm (8dc.acc): Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance) eax=7ffd8000 ebx=00000001 ecx=00000002 edx=00000003 esi=00000004 edi=00000005 eip=7c901230 esp=04e8ffcc ebp=04e8fff4 iopl=0 nv up ei pl zr na pe nc cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=0038 gs=0000 efl=00000246 *** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found.

I uninstalled all of my video codecs that I could find that were installed. it doesn't seem to make any difference at all.

I just bought the US download version. I have the latest DirectX drivers as provided by the installer. When I try to launch Black Shark from the icon that it installed on my Desktop, the Launcher.exe activates and shows a screen that says "Loading...". I hear a few seconds of music and then it just quits. There is no error message. There are also no errors in my ..\Temp\ folder and no *.crash file. I can start Black Shark from the Multiplayer icon, however. I tried activating the game with the protect.exe, but that seemed to have no effect (although presumably my game is activated now).
