Re: Fable wont start

Have a look in the event viewer if an error is posted there:

right click your 'My Computer' icon, choose 'manage'
click on the plus sign next to 'Event Viewer'
click on 'Application'
look for red dots with white crosses, double click these until you find the message for the error of Fable
there is usually a short cut provided at the bottom of the window (scroll down if necessary)
click on it (you have to be online) and the help center will open with (hopefully) helpful advice

I bought fable today, off the reccomendation of a friend, and it sounds like a great game, but it wont start, and im hoping someone can give me a fix that will work. The opening scenes work fine, im assuming because they are windows media player files, but after that i get an error that says "fable.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Sort of genereic, leaving me wondering what the problem was. I went through the MS knowledge base, and found an article pretaining to this exact error, then tried all the fixes listed there, but none of them worked. Fixed included: update video card, uninstall/reinstall, mess with the directX settings several times, and something with the sound card, among others. If anybody knows a way to fix this, please share it. Thanks in advance!
