But i get exactly the same blinking thing that stops me from playing the game when i use garena. The file does not open and it lowers. I tried clicking properties on the frozen throne file and disabling a couple of things with the compatibility tab, but it does not fix the problem. Please someone help, it never used to be like that when i had windows retarded...it is very urgent as its a source of my little enjoyment...i do not have any other games that i play on the computer so it is important
