XP SP2 Problem

[Guest winipcfg]

I read someone's thread (don't remember whose, but I was referred here by Kolar in the TW Forums) and followed the instructions for setting up Continuum on a system running XP SP2, but it didn't work. The instructions dealt mainly with firewalls, but I don't think this problem is a firewall problem. I tried both methods - neither of them worked.

 

Here are my system specs (as best as I know):

 

-Dell Inspiron 1150

-2.8 GHz Celeron Processor

-512 MB RAM (not sure what type)

-Windows XP, largely unmodified (I just got the comp today)

 

I haven't tried running it on my PC that used to have SP2. When I installed SP2 on that system too many drivers failed and several programs didn't work, so I uninstalled it immediately. If there are any needed system specs, let me know. I'm running McAfee Firewall (which I disabled) and Webroot Spy Sweeper (which was also disabled) in addition to the combined Windows Firewall.

 

Essentially, what happens is after installing Continuum successfully, I run Continuum for the first time and nothing happens - nothing is displayed other than the hourgl!@#$%^&* by the cursor. So after doing this several times, I checked the System Processes using Ctrl + Alt + Del and saw the Continuum.exe was running, but the hourgl!@#$%^&* would only appear. When I rebooted my comp (because I can't end the process - it just reappears, and it doesn't ever stop) something error message comes up but it closes too fast for me to read it.

 

If you guys need more information, lemme know - I'll help you out as best as I can, but that's all that I can't think of right now. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I had the same problem

But I can run it in one way... It doesn't save it's data.

Run it by right-clicking Continuum, select Run as..., then click ok

I saw that thread and tried doing the various things mentioned there but none of those things worked either.
