Have you checked the manufacturer for updates or contact them about Vista
support? You could try running the game iin Compatibility mode to see if it
will work better.
Right click the programs executable > click Properties > "Compatibility" tab
> under "Compatibility Mode" check the Run this application in compatibility
mode for: box > click in the list box and choose a suitable version of
Windows.

If it's from Blue Mountain, the Oberon Media game shortcut actually points to a launcher program.
In trial mode this tells you how much time you have left before buying a registration key.
This launcher program fails in Vista, so try running the game's program directly.
Go to the folder of the game and try double-clicking on the game's exe file.
(You may have to right-click and 'Run as administrator'.)

I did the work-around for the launcher and went directly to the program
exe and was able to get it to work. I'm using XP here, but I have a
Vista laptop at home that's having a different trouble, it keeps giving
me directX version issues. Anybody heard of that one before?

Hi. I have been having the same problems with my Windows Vista and the
Oberon Media error message "Game Launcher has stopped working." I have
been emailing these people for over a month now and the lady I have been
emailing just sent me a possible fix. I went and did it step by step on
my computer and It has fixed my problem. Hope it fixes your too.


The steps are as follows:::::

1. Right click on your My Computer Icon. Go to Properties

2. Click on the Advanced System Settings ( mine is listed on the left
hand side) A new window will open click on the Advanced tab.

3. Where is says Performance click on the settings box . A new window
will open.

4. Click on Data Execution Prevention, now where is says " Turn on DEP
for essential windows programs and services only. CLICK on that little
circle beside that. At the bottom of the box click Apply then click OK.
Now restart your computer and try relaunching the game and it should
work. MINE DID and IM so HAPPY

GOOD LUCK hope it works fo you like it did me. If it doesnt work please
feel free to email me @ and I will forward you
the email address for the lady I spoke with that helped me fix my
problem.

not sure if this is the right thread to post in, but i recently
downloaded "way to go bowling" and when i run it, after the initial
screen where you click the "play game" button, my screen goes black, but
i hear all the sounds of the game starting up. i've tried several
different things, including downloaded updated drivers from dell as well
as microsoft, all to no avail.

is anyone familiar with this problem and how it may be corrected? any
help would be greatly appreciated. the game was only $20.00, granted,
but i'd rather not take a $20 bill and just throw it away if i don't
have too.

OK MY OBERON GAMES ARE GIVING ME THIS GAME LAUNCHER ERROR TOO
I READ ANOTHER ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION ABOUT THESE OBERON GAMES HERE IN
VISTA GIVING GAME LAUNCHER ERROR & IT SAYS THE WRONG THING !!!!!
CHANGING THE COMPATIBLY "MODE" SETTING IS NOT THE THING TO DO !!!!!
DOWN AT BOTTOM OF THIS SAME WINDOW WHERE IT SAYS "PRIVILEGE LEVEL"
CHECK THE BOX THERE !!! "RUN THIS PROGRAM AS AN ADMINISTRATOR" / THEN
CLICK APPLY CLOSE
SO, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ICON FOR YOUR GAME ON DESKTOP
CLICK START / ALL PROGRAMS
FIND THE OBERON FOLDER
FIND YOUR GAME FOLDER
WHILE HOLDING CTRL KEY
CLICK ON GAME ICON & DRAG TO DESKTOP
(DOING IT THIS WAY WILL STILL LEAVE YOU AN ICON IN THIS ALL PROGRAMS
FOLDER)
NOW, RIGHT CLICK THE ICON / CLICK PROPERTIES / CLICK ON COMPATIBILITY
TAB / CHECK THE BOX "RUN THIS PROGRAM AS AN ADMINISTRATOR" / CLICK
APPLY, CLOSE.
I ALSO HAVE A FILE RENAMER UTILITY PROGRAM
AND WHEN I INSTALL IT (IN VISTA) AND ENTER MY UNLOCK CODE THE THING
WORKS UNTIL I CLOSE IT / THEN WHEN I REUSE IT IT IS BACK TO THE
UNREGESTERED VERSION / AND THE FIX FOR THAT PROGRAM IS THE SAME AS THE
FIX HERE I HAVE GIVEN FOR THE OBERON GAMES.
