I am kind of ignorant when it comes to Vista since I've got XP on my computer. When I tried to install this game on my daughter's Vista computer, I got an error message, which was shortly followed by another box that told me it might not have been installed correctly, so what did I want to do? I clicked on reinstall, and it prompted me for where I wanted to save the file to, which is further than I got before, so I took that as a good sign. But after it was done, when I double clicked on ict.exe , the screen went black and stayed that way. I did alt-cntl-delete and saw that the program was not responding. I uninstalled it, redownloaded it (from the main link - not one of the mirrors), and installed it again. This time the installation showed no errors, but when I tried to bring the game up, the screen turned black, flashed a few times, and then stayed black. I never even got as far as Vista asking my permission, which I assume it needs to do - it seems to do that constantly. I did alt-cntl-delete again, and again, it said Ice Cream Tycoon was not responding. Just out of curiosity, I installed it on my XP computer, and it works fine.
So, I know that it's not the game's fault - it's something I'm not doing right - but I am totally clueless.
Any ideas? Thank you!
