I sympathize, Aprilfool. Though I've played it online, I don't have it, so I don't know how much help I can be. I used the search function above to search your problem and I can't find anyone else here whose had that particular problem with BrickShooter, and a web search didn't find it either. Some general suggestions: you may be aware that the "Windows is searching for a solution to the problem" notice means that "Windows Problem Reports and Solutions" was activated by this error. For my money, it's practically worseless. Microsoft usually doesn't have a clue for most of these problems - my belief is that they've made Windows so complex there starting to lose what little handle they had on it in the first place. I think that's evidenced when a search on the Micoroft Knowledge Base doesn't show answers for dozens or even hundreds of problems Windows will notify you about. But it still may be worth checking out. If you haven't accessed Problem Reports and Solutions, it's in the Control Panel. It will give you all the error codes and sometimes identifies the at fault module. You might try the bucket ID code, which is supposed to get a search hit from MS, but rarely does. Sometimes Problem Report will dump information into a temporary error file or two, which the report will have a link to. Many of these are useless, but.... You might also try Event Viewer, which keeps track of practically all the Event Logs Windows generates. One way to access Event Viewer is under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel.
Sounds like either something got corrupted or maybe something wormed it's way into your system overnight. Might be worth doing your virus/malware full scans. Also I'd run chkdsk and System File Checker to try and find and fix any corruption. If you haven't used SFC, it's a tool from Windows 98 that MS hid in the current versions but is still in there for the IT Pros. It checks the integrity of all your system files and replaces any bad one it finds, unless the files locked. Then it will notify that it couldn't fix everything. If you're running anything earlier than Vista, you may need your install disks because that's where the replacement files are stored. In Vista, all the files are already on your hard drive. If it was me, I'd run either chkdsk or the virus scans first. If it works one day and not the next, I'd suspect corrpution first, virus 2nd. Some people would also say clean your browser cache, but I don't see why there'd be any connection for an installed game, so that's a longshot at best.
If you don't have any luck, Luke1000 posted this for someone else who had a different BrickShooter problem a couple weeks ago as a consolation:
"JBrickShooter is a nice freeware version of this game. Although it isn't much graphics wise, its game play is still the same. Also check out its arcade mode with powerups.
For Ubuntu: < a href "http://www.getdeb.net/app/JBrickShooter">(If you don't know what Ubuntu is then you don't want this)
For any Java compatible OS: http://code.google.com/p/jbrickshooter/ "
Hopefully somebody here will have specific experience with this problem, but I have a feeling you're on your own.
