Have you checked the manufacturer for updates or contact them about Vista
support? You could try running the game iin Compatibility mode to see if it
will work better.
Right click the programs executable > click Properties > "Compatibility" tab

under "Compatibility Mode" check the Run this application in compatibility

mode for: box > click in the list box and choose a suitable version of
Windows.

If it's from Blue Mountain, the Oberon Media game shortcut actually points to a launcher program.
In trial mode this tells you how much time you have left before buying a registration key.
This launcher program fails in Vista, so try running the game's program directly.
Go to the folder of the game and try double-clicking on the game's exe file.
(You may have to right-click and 'Run as administrator'.)

I'm having the same problem with not only the game launcher, but also with
'shockwave.com Keyhole DRM Application has stopped working' and 'macromedia
projector has stopped working'. I've paid a lot of money for my games and now
can't play any of them and trying to get help is like pulling teeth.

ditto on everything everyone else has said! same problem games launcher has
stopped working i bought 2 games via e-mail they would not work, then got the
game on cd, (many thanks oberon for being so understanding) but nothing
works! lol not funny i know but what else can we do? i actually thought it
was my fault and now i know it's not cos other people have the same problem,
anyone got any more ideas? many thanks.

Would it be possible for you to tell me which Shockwave games were
broken and where I can download them? I would like to take a look at
them and see if there is anything I can do to *fix* the problem.

Has it occurred to you yet that the possible reason you're not getting
any replies is because the people you hope will reply have LONG since
stopped monitoring this thread???

OK MY OBERON GAMES ARE GIVING ME THIS GAME LAUNCHER ERROR TOO
I READ ANOTHER ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION ABOUT THESE OBERON GAMES HERE IN
VISTA GIVING GAME LAUNCHER ERROR & IT SAYS THE WRONG THING !!!!!
CHANGING THE COMPATIBLY "MODE" SETTING IS NOT THE THING TO DO !!!!!
DOWN AT BOTTOM OF THIS SAME WINDOW WHERE IT SAYS "PRIVILEGE LEVEL"
CHECK THE BOX THERE !!! "RUN THIS PROGRAM AS AN ADMINISTRATOR" / THEN
CLICK APPLY CLOSE
SO, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ICON FOR YOUR GAME ON DESKTOP
CLICK START / ALL PROGRAMS
FIND THE OBERON FOLDER
FIND YOUR GAME FOLDER
WHILE HOLDING CTRL KEY
CLICK ON GAME ICON & DRAG TO DESKTOP
(DOING IT THIS WAY WILL STILL LEAVE YOU AN ICON IN THIS ALL PROGRAMS
FOLDER)
NOW, RIGHT CLICK THE ICON / CLICK PROPERTIES / CLICK ON COMPATIBILITY
TAB / CHECK THE BOX "RUN THIS PROGRAM AS AN ADMINISTRATOR" / CLICK
APPLY, CLOSE.
I ALSO HAVE A FILE RENAMER UTILITY PROGRAM
AND WHEN I INSTALL IT (IN VISTA) AND ENTER MY UNLOCK CODE THE THING
WORKS UNTIL I CLOSE IT / THEN WHEN I REUSE IT IT IS BACK TO THE
UNREGESTERED VERSION / AND THE FIX FOR THAT PROGRAM IS THE SAME AS THE
FIX HERE I HAVE GIVEN FOR THE OBERON GAMES.

Oi, the shouting. Ur defening me.
