well, you've got more serious problems than that.. thanks for taking many posts to answer one question though.. great waste of time, what are the specs on the box then?

now, you're going to ask what i meant by you having more serious problems.. so i'll explain...

Minimum supported client Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

so, you've got imports in the exe which ONLY exist in windows xp x64 (somehow i suspect you're using xp x32.. because you got that error) and vista (or higher).. so to get this game to work in windows xp (x32) you would have to do quite a lot of work , possibly to the extent of having to write some system api's to get it working...

there's a reason it says vista on the box... that being.. it uses (and needs) api's present only in vista or xp x64 (and even then i doubt it will work in xp x64)...

also, why would you buy a game that says on the box it needs vista ?...

but please, humor me, what does it say for the specifications on the box, then i can check further...
