PM2004 - Can't change my campaign manager name

August 3, 2007 6:17:19 PM from PoliticalMachine ForumsPoliticalMachine Forums
I recently installed Political Machine on my new computer for the first time. I am using Windows Vista now (previously XP) and although the game starts up, I've noticed a serious problem.

I can't change either my game name when creating a new quick play game or my name for the purpose of tracking a high school. Its stuck on 'Campaign 2004' and 'Pat Smith'. Whenever I try to type anything, the little error ding just sounds over and over.

What is the issue here?

Did anybody figure out why and/or how to change names so I can create new candidate?

Me also. Is this a Vista compatibility problem? I've had this game since its release in 2004, and I have YET to find a computer that can run it properly. I'm looking forward to the new release in 2008, but I hope they fix all these bugs.

Considering this question has been posted for over a month now, maybe we could get an answer now? Hmmmm?

I too encountered this problem. I was able to fix it by going to the options menu and checking the box to disable the intro, then exiting the game and restarting.

I fixed this problem by going to options and skipping intro. Way better game than pm2008. But still an avid fan of both games
