    Black and White Doesn't Launch.

    I am playing Black and White for a college class. So I ordered the game online and in the meantime i thought it would be a good idea to borrow my friends. So i borrowed his disc and installed it (using his cd key). i played the game for about a week after which I recieved my own disc in the mail. Upon trying to run the game from the new disc, the game didn't launch. I only see the Black and White splash screen after which nothing i was returned to the desktop. So i thought it might be a cd key issue so i uninstalled the game and reinstalled it using the new disc. However, during installation i wasn't asked to enter a new cd key. the system had retained the cd key from the other disc. Anyway, the game was still not able to launch. So i uninstalled and reinstalled again from my friends disc but the game still can't launch. I just get a black and white splash screen and the game exits. What could be the problem?

    A lot of people are having the same problem, I am getting an error report though. Not lionhead nor EA have confirmed this or even have made any official statement that they acknowledge the problem and are working to fix it. You could try signing the petition and hope that Lionhead actually cares: http://allboards.lionhead.com/showthread.php?t=104023

    Re: Black and White Doesn't Launch.

    i'm having this problem with the original Black and White game. Does anyone know where the game stores key info and other info that stays even after a uninstall? It's wierd becuase it worked intially but now it won't even launch the game. I'll probably have to right a paper on this game...how am i going to do that without playing it?

    Re: Black and White Doesn't Launch.

    I have a similar problem now and I don't know what to do either.Cry [:cry:]
    Some years ago the game black and white worked really great. I wanted to play black and white 2, so logically I installed it. Then something went terribly wrong withoug me noticing it and since then neither game would launch. I tried to rightclick on the icon - explorer and then to lauch. nothing.. No sigh, no warning, no error, no game... nothing. Simply.. nothing.Tongue Tied [:S]
    please help!!!
