Alright, after a little bit of tweaking, going through the FAQs, and uninstalling/reinstalling and tweaking again, I still cannot get the game to start up. Installation is fine, and all the files are where they are supposed to be. But, whenever I try to run the program, I still get the hourglass next to the pointer without any other results. I looked in the processes tab of the Task Manager, and I noticed an irregularity: there is one Continuum.exe process that stays in the list, but another Continuum.exe process will show up for a second and then disappear (essentially, there are 2 Continuum.exe processes at the same time, for about a second). In the applications tab of the Task Manager, nothing pops up still. I've tried turning off DEP, I've tried running in compatibility mode, and I have Continuum working on my PC with the same install of Windows XP and the same antivirus/firewall setting, and it works on the PC. I don't know what the problem is, but it is frustrating me now.. Any further ideas?
