Thanks, after posting my error text I saw that catch all thread and saw that the problem was the video card. Went online and got a great one for 50% off. Hopefully, once I install it, there'll be no problems. (fingers crossed)

I can't find any debug.err files. Even tried expanding the compressed sig folder at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\The Political Machine 2008 but get an error message popping up saying "unknown archive format" Also looking at the messages, that PM2008 isn't installing in the My Games folder, but in a separate folder. Where can I find the error file. Using WIndows XP Home Edition SP2 Very frustrated. :SNIFF!:
As I mentioned, I double-posted this, here's a link to the other thread: https://forums.stardock.com/315336 No answer there, yet, though. At lunch I'm going to try to call Technical Support.
I had a similar problem, but I'm running a different video card.
Most recent DirectX, just updated today. If I'm reading it right, Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV
I'm having trouble with TPM 2008. When the game starts I get the widescreen effect, but all white. I'm hearing sound, but seeing nothing. If I click the mouse, I get what appears to be an all white menu screen. I can see a cursor. Any suggestions? Any ideas? Sorry for the double post, but I thinjk I initially posted in the wrong section.
