It works! Thanks man! And thanks all who tried to help. You've made an old taffer quite happy.

^Thanks...just made it writeable...still won't work :/

OK I placed the all the game files in a new folder in Programs x86, then ran the updater which got me one updated file. Then I went to launch and got the below: TDM 2.01 #5920 win-x86 Jan 28 2014 09:19:17 3093 MHz Intel CPU with MMX & SSE & SSE2 & SSE3 & HTT 8176 MB System Memory 1024 MB Video Memory Winsock Initialized Found interface: {E057B7ED-9657-44DB-8F6D-4E9C461D8254} Medialink MWN-USB300N -

Thank you springheel. I installed it the first time from the updater.exe, not a torrent. I will attempt what you posted above when I get back to my gaming rig tonight. Have been looking forward to playing this for a long time, and feel so close...yet so far Thanks again for the suggestion and I will post with results later.

So is a fresh install necessary?

Thanks...I tried putting TDM folder in the root, the games directory too and it still won't run.

^I didn't even think about that actually...would moving the Darkmod folder to Program Files potentially help? I'm running an NVidia GTX 560ti with driver 331.82 on W7. Thanks for the quick replies.

Hi all...just downloaded the most up to date version and I get the below error message...any advice?
