Elemental won't boot

from Elemental Forums

Hi

I just bought Elemental on Impulse and installed it. But I won't start up  8C . I see the screen with the dragon and the curser looks like a leaf, and then nothing happens. It doesn't freeze up, but still I can't even get back to windows using alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del. If I try that the curser changes to the windows curser when i move it over a square on the screen, and on the edge of that square it changes to a windows-resize-curser. So it apears to be stuck in some Windows limbo.

Any help would really be appreciated!

Your firewall is asking you if you want to allow the product activation. Go into your my games/elemental folder open up prefs.ini and set fullscreen mode to 0. So you can see the pop up.

You should be able to set to full screen after you allow the activation. But I keep my in windowed mode set so it takes the whole screen so I can multitask easier.
