unable to get past logon window
PolMach Forums
I downloaded the tpmexpress2008 to try out before I buy it for my boyfriend (who is a political fanatic you could say). When I start it up I get only a white screen with play resume and so... when I login it takes me to another white screen that says game setup and lobby ... the first time I started the game it listed the available games and then below that is a players and chat box list. Trying to start it up again I get to the game setup but no games listed.
Here is my system info ...

Also here is my dxdiag.log for directX if you need it.
I did notice that the debug.err file shows a lot of messages about missing files and such at the begining.
When I tried to update the game it closed but the Impulse program didnt seem to update the game.
I hope someone can help me get this game going. I know he will love this game if I can get it to work.
Thank you,
Tammy
