mmm this is very strange indeed. Your hardware is more then ennough to run the engine. And all the comboboxes empty is something I never encountered. I have tested the engine under vista and it ran without a problem. Just less performance than on xp. And the logger logs every line straight to the harddisk so I can`t see why it should be almost empty.

Since I have absolutly now idea what is going on without a decent log I suggest to reinstall the engine. Mayby something went wrong with the installation. What you can try is to open the source in your favorite version of delphi and run the engine.dll project with the GenesisDevice.exe as host application. Hopefully a compiler or runtime error will appear which would explain this.

Anyone else any thoughts on this?
