poppa zoppa and trouncer

[PogoKaz]

Have trouncer on my computer but i haven't played it for a while and now it wont open  :'((
I've uninstalled and re-installed it and the desktop icon is there but when you click on it after the standard security message comes up I get a quick flash of a black box and NOTHING.

Its nothing to do with the game, I can't get the program itself to open.

Windows XP
Browser - irrelavant but use ie and firefox
smoothfonts etc off
1024

I have tried turning the firewall and anti-virus off to see if that was stopping it loading but it makes no differance.

Can anyone help please  :OO

Did you start your game first and then the auto?

[PogoKaz]

I tried both ways tara. The black box just flashed up and disappears.

Delete the auto, reboot your pc and redownload from www.badgehelp.com

[PogoKaz]

cleared cache, cookies, etc from ie and firefox, deleted all mention of trouncer from my computer.

Rebooted and downloaded again  :OO :OO

I can't even get the box up to see if its registered, nor send a screen shot as the black box that comes up is only up for a fraction of a second..

If it helps the black box looks a bit like an ms-dos box.

I've only ever once seen anything like it, when I had a really old machine and the graphics card wouldnt support the more up to date games programs.
But I have a high graphics card now, and all other auto box's come up (whether they work or not is another matter ;)) and I can play all games by hand so its not the java or vm.
Its just simply the auto wont install on the machine.

:'(( :'((

I just installed in on my pc wihtout any problems. For some reason your pc will not install the program. There is really nothing else I can tell you to do.

Cheers for trying  O0

Thought you may like to know, I managed to get this sorted. (with a little help from a computer programmer).

Apparantly this auto didnt like my windows xp and is quite a common problem.

Therefore on the properties of the auto, tab-compatability, he changed it to 'run this program in comapatability mode windows 98 AND it works perfectly.  :D :D

Maybe its a tip worth bearing in mind and trying if all else fails for other autos :)

For some reason, I played Poppa Zoppa yesterday ( boredom with the 2 new games, I guess) and Trouncer worked like it always does- I finished middle of the pack.

I am running Win XP also, so it must have been something about your Java.
