You can always right click the shortcut, goto properties, and then change the compatibility settings of the program. Mess around with these settings and it might work. Did for me once.

It might just be your graphics card. I'm not sure if it's out of date or anything. I'm not into that type of computer stuff. But when I upgraded my graphics card, Sapien worked much better for me.

It is a very powerful program too. It takes up 100,000 to 200,000 K of memory usage. That might also be your problem.

my graphic drivers are all up to date but what did u meen by the other thing

[Skyline]

If you are running a dual core processor (usually amd) you open up sapein. Then open task manager and make it run for one core.

Also make sure you are running a valid scenario.

[Gamerkd16]

I just remember, I think I had this problem. It need to run on only one CPU with dual core. You need some program called Affinity, or something like that to lock it on one CPU.

Instead of getting a program, just do CTRL+ALT+Delete and set Sapiens affinity before you load a scenario.

That would do the same thing as setting the compatibility to Windows 98.
Post the last part of the debug.txt here so we can see if it might just be a problem with the map.
