Windows 7 x64

[johnmcc]

My work laptop was upgraded to windows 7 64bit, so i had to reinstall the game. I can launch it but it just sits there, set the compatibility to Windows XP SP2 but no dice.

 

Any ideas?

 

I'm guessing there will never be an update for this game either.

 

thanks

When you say it sits there can you see the start screen or the screen never appears.

The initial game screen comes up but does not let me click on any button, can't create or play a league, but when i go to task manager, it lets me exit. Tried compatibility mode but nothing..installed fine, but had to right click and run as administrator, which i figured would happen.

 

edit: Also tried using different screen resolutions

It's not the screen resolution, but probably your DPI settings. Under the display options you'll find them in the Advanced settings. Set them to 96 DPI (normal) and you should be able to get it to work. (In all likelihood they are set to more than 96 DPI and as a result the "hot spots" of the template are not lining up under the buttons)

I'll check this when I get home thanks

changing the dpi settings did the trick, thanks!

Same system (Win7 x64), but different issue. Won't even run; my DPI setting is 96. Compatability setting for XP SP2.

 

When I try to open, a dialog says BBCF has stopped working. The detailed error report:
