Just what the title says. I try to start the game, I get the hour glass for half a second, then nothing. I've tryed reinstalling, starting the game with a clean boot, same thing. I remember having a similar problem for KoTOR but they took care of themselves after a reboot. The weird thing is that regular RoN works fine. Any ideas?

thao,
I tried your fix, no dice for me. My problem didn't start until WinXP SP2 installation though, so it may be something different.

Recently joined the club on the T&P boot issues. Blah blah blah cannot start the expansion pack, hourglass for half a second. Nothing new to offer, just chiming in on this issue. Checked with Microsoft...very little or nothing to offer there. If I had bothered to research the game prior to purchase and found this post, I might have avoided the expansion entirely (did look cool). Tempted to write those that offer a solution here, but admittedly question this fix if user is not able to post on this board. (?) I'll try anything once...

Yeah, the link he gave me wa sjust to a site. So, Im not exactly sure what Im looking for either. :/
Im kind of sick with dealing with Microsoft about this issue. I can't believe such a unique error could get past beta!!
this practically has made the game completely useless on my computer!! I could even buy a new cd and it wouldn't even work!!!

Hello everyone, as you can guess I'm having the same frustating problem as the rest of you. I'm just posting here in order to be able to email thao to see if his solution could work for me.

Dave I know how you feel. I had this on microsoft guy that kept on emailing me if I got through anything. He even called me a lot and that really fricken drove me nuts since he was completely useless. To top it all off he sounded like he was from India so I could barely understand what he was talking about!. :P
Ive just been too busy/tired/pissed/annoyed to get this problem fixxed so I usually spend my time playing the poor orginal. Its SO painful to just stare on that expansion cd knowing I know I cant play it on my computer EVER again! I was going to install windows but thats just too much work for just one game.
