Ha! Cool link, thanks. Usually when I start a new region, I pick a real life region (say, eastern Ontario) and just pick names of towns in that region. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

Hey guys, I actually have the same problem as you Alkie. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 32bit. It does the same thing to me, bridge screen, flash to black screen once or twice, and then nothing. I actually did have it running once, but never again since then. I have a feeling it might have something to do with the video card/driver, but I can't be certain. However, not running in compatibility mode, it will go as described, and then a message will come up saying "Sim City 4 will run with the software driver when next launched." What puzzles me about this message is that it wasn't showing up before, but now it shows up every time. Very frustrating. Hope you guys can help. Edit: FYI, I have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card.

It's actually not that crappy. I have a 1.7 GHz P4 with 256 RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. It's not a brand name computer... but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. I'll try that Save Target As... suggestion later and get back to you guys.

Author:edd_erickson Did you validate your membership after you registered? Simtropolis sends an e-mail to the address you registered with a link to click on to validate you your membership. If you did, then the only thing it can be is the server is REALLY busy. Look at the top of the main page and you will see Donation Stats. Click on it and you will see that Simtropolis has had to reduce its bandwith dramatcly over the past few months. Why? Lack of funds. This stuff isn't free. If you want more bandwith, make a donation!quote> Yeah, I was actually talking about the official SC4 site. But thanks anyways. And yeah, I installed it to the default location. Using Internet Explorer to download them. Thanks for all your input guys, maybe it's just my crappy computer.

Yeah, I am a registered user. And if the server was really busy at the time, then it's really busy every time I try it, which has been at different times of day. So yeah, I have no clue what it could be.

Hi there. Ummm, trying to download lots from the SC4 official site. However, every time I start a download, it immediately states that We are unable to process your request successfully at this time. Is this a problem with me or is it a problem with the SC4 site? Am I missing something? Sorry if this has already been discussed, I didn't see anything.
