hi... i decided today to play stw again, i have the original game cd release. i installed the game and downloaded the patch. when i double click the shortcut i get the same problem that zen_blade has. i have tryed compatability mode but the problem is still there. i hope that someone finds an anwser to this problem, i have checked the web, but all i can find are posts with the same problem and no workaround.

i will leave the install on my harddrive for a couple of days, if i find no anwser to this problem, then i guess it is just the scenario of 'old game..not compatable with new technology'.
