When I attemp to start the game I get the Windows error reporting message. TODO: <File description> has encountered a problem and needs to close.....ect.
Then when I click don't send I get the following message: outspark.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.
I have attemted to find the error log so that I could include it with my post but there does'nt seem to be any such file in the Outspark folder or subfolders
I tried reinstalling and encountered the same problem.*

Hi Mitghandir,
Check a couple of thing, to try and narrow down what is causing the problem.
1) Check the Event Viewer for any System Alerts that pertain to Outspark, Fiesta, or the Launcher...right-click on My Computer&gt;Select Manage&gt;System Tools&gt;Event Viewer&gt;Alerts...look for any about Fiesta and post back what it says, it &quot;might be&quot; helpful.
2) Check the version of the video driver you have currently installed for the GeForce4 MX. Actually, just make sure that you have the latest available version from Nvidia.
You can check what your version is by looking at the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (Start&gt;Run&gt;type dxdiag&gt;hit OK&gt;Display Tab&gt;Driver version wil be something like &quot;6.14.xxxx.xxxx&quot;.
Unless you have verified recently that you have the latest driver, you can download the latest version at www.nvidia.com ...look under Download Drivers, Graphics Driver&gt;Windows XP&gt;GeForce 4 MX...if you download the latest one, make sure to follow their instructions and Uninstall the driver you have now, and then install the latest one, otherwise hilarity may ensue.
Post back what you find, and we'll continue trying to troubleshoot the error.
