no, i was just wondering if you were on one as the operating system they ship with causes problems with some games
May the force be with you.
For little boys, three things reign as supreme attention-keepers: tanks, heavy construction equipment, and trains, we all know why where here.

lol. Well how long do you think it is going to be before someone manages to fix this problem? I'm going to assume most likely never...

Did you install any new graphic drivers? I just installed it myself and whenever I start it my second screen goes childish and my primary was ok until I started to change ingame resolution. After that it didn't work for like 5 attempts. Then it suddenly worked normally again. It does not seem to give any heed to the compatibility mode or system (had same problems on vista now I'm using 7 64 bit). I do believe it's some sort of a resolution problem with the game itself. Would have to be an expert to solve it. :D

The only 'manual workaround' I've discovered for this is to:
1 Save the game.
2 Quit to the locomotion menu.
3 Click the 'singel/multiplayer mode' button and then close the window that comes up.

And voila the game reloads the color/textures or something and it all goes back to normal colors. After that you can load your game and continue playing.

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I got a Radeon 6770 HD graphics card for Christmas, and I decided to fire up Locomotion for kicks and giggles. Low and behold, it now runs. I have no clue why, it just does. So :D
