Hi Carbon,

It's hard to tell what's going wrong from your log. It looks like the game started fine, and then you switched from fullscreen to windowed mode (hit alt-f or alt-enter?) and that worked as well. Did you see the splash screen or the menu? If you run again, when does it crash (if at all)?

Thanks,
Eddy

Hi Carbon,

<----------- Crash occurs here
Destroying window...

Judging from this snippet of the log file, it looks like Osmos is crashing as it tries to load sounds on your machine. Can you please verify that you have the latest drivers for your soundcard and motherboard? Can you please also try uninstalling OpenAL, then runningthe latest installer from Creative Labs' downloads page (Oalinst)?

Thanks,
Dave

Tried updating everything, disabling sound etc etc
new error i get is: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
It won't even get far enough to create a error log in the home directory now.

any pointers?
