I downloaded, installed Egyptoid 2 with no problems. Played it a few times over a few days. However today it's crashing. Only change in the system is having rebooted.
A black square is displayed (covers all other windows and dialogs except error dialog).
Technical info from error dialog is:
AppName: egyptoid2.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: egyptoid2.exe
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000de3b
I'm running WinXP-Pro, SP 2
When was the time prior to this that you rebooted (how long before installing Egyptoid2 was it since you last reboot).
The reason I am wondering - Perhaps some other updates or installed programs (windowsupdate maybe?) were "waiting for a reboot" to update or replace some files - and by rebooting, the files have been updated/removed/added which has affected egyptoid2.exe
It's not a solution, just a theory....
I doubt it is something specifically within Egyptoid - as lots of users have installed and rebooted, and this is the first problem like this. It's probably something else on your system that has clobbered Egyptoid.

Hi, BuBBy. Thanks for the reply. Am glad to hear no other users are reporting the problem. It does indeed sound like a delayed install that's at fault. However, I don't do automatic Windows updates, and generally know when I have an install needing a reboot. The only automatic updates I do is for my AVG anti-virus. And that updates every night.
It had been a week or so since my last reboot. (This is a laptop so travels frequently.)
Of course I don't even really know that the reboot was the cause. Just that it was the most memorable event between the time it worked and not.
Bummer. I really liked the game. Thanks for your advice.
