ThunderPoppper2 issues

[MadmansSis]

I used Thunderpopper2 as shareware - it was great - so I purchased it

Since registering - it loads ok - until I hit start - then it instantly says 'No Balloons left!'

Frustrating!!

tech info

Windows XP
IE
32 bit colour
1024 x 768
edges smoothed (if i need to change this please advise how)

I can't get my comp code back as the product says 'thank you for registering' - so i can't request a new code  :(

thanks for your help in anticipation

i had the same prob but with the share ware version and all i did was re-download it and it worked maybe try that

[MadmansSis]

i have done that - no change  :-X

[hereatic555]

are you playing with a theme on because ive noticed i cant get tp2 to run if there is a different theme like the space them thats all i can suggest.


or it maybe if you have smoot egdes check to see if you have
right-click on my computer>propeties>advanced tab then click proformance and scroll down to see if its checked or not

tyvm 4 trying to help
- i removed smooth edges and its still the same
- i'd like some technical help - or i'll have to go to paypal and ask them to refund - i'm so un impressed with the support I won't risk my money on other badgehelp products - which is a shame

This is not a font dependant auto.  What java are you using.
Go to Internet Explorer>tools>internet options>advanced and scroll down and look at what java is checked.  Uncheck what you have and check the other.  Reboot and give that a try, please.

[MadmansSis]

i was using sun java - as when i used the shareware

i did as u asked - still the same :(

any other suggestions gratefully recieved

Pam, I really want this auto to work for you.  I understand your frustration completely.  I hate to repeat what someone has already suggested here, but your game has different "themes."  Try changing the theme screen and see if anything happens.  I always played the "classic" theme myself.

[hereatic555]

i have noticed that thunderpopper2 will only play on classic theme for me

[MadmansSis]

i'm using classic - nothings changed since i used the shareware (other than i did as u(Barbara)  suggested)

i'm totally frustrated

I can't get a new code - cos my prog says thank you for registering

it loads ok - then i hit start

instantly 'No ballons left' - tho if i close TP2 - i can play

I appreciate u trying to help me

[Barbara]

I truly wish that I could think of something to help you here.  If anyone can think of anything, please help Pam out.

By any chance are you hitting the solve button? You should only need to hit the start button.

[MadmansSis]

is there any way i can make the program show as 'un-registered'

so I can get a new code - i have emails confirming i paid

[Homer]

Why would you need a new code? It won't make a difference. It's still the same program.

[Homer]

I just tested the program. If you only hit the solve button it will just sit there. You need to hit Start to get the auto popping.

[MadmansSis]

the shareware worked until i registered iti haven't changed anythng here - (and i'm the only one using my computer)

so....  it feels like an issue around the registration - I look for whats changed when i have problems - thats what changed

i hit START - then it says 'No Balloons left'

[Barbara]

Pam, I want you to yank this bad boy out of your computer.  Look in your c drive and get it all out and then download it again.

[MadmansSis]

ok - will do that now

ty all 4 trying to help me

[MadmansSis]

i deleted TP2 and emptied the recycle bin

downloaded again

it still says its a registered copy and still says 'no balloons left' as soon as i hit start

the ballons are there - when i close TP2 - i can play it manually

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Barbara]

Dang!  Pam, please e-mail badgehelp@aol.com with your problem.  I hope you get it up and running again soon.
