Vampire Bloodlines won't even run
 

Installation of the game went smoothly but when I double click on the vampire icon an hourglass appears for 2 or 3 seconds and then nothing happens at all. Sometimes the logo appears then dissapears, and still nothing happens. There aren't any error messages when I try to load the game up, it just doesnt do anything. My system meets all the requirements for the game, I just don't understand this.

Are you using your original cd/dvd without a crack, or are you using a crack?
Do you have the original cd/dvd?

yeah, i just got the game yesterday. With the original CDs the logo would appear and then nothing would happen, and with the nocd crack nothing happens at all except an hourgalss for a second.

If you need help with your original game, contact the game publisher or refer to the official game support forum.

This game is very buggly like the temple of the elemental evil (another game made by troika before they were out of business)
