iyarkonan

i was playing it yesterday, so then i took a break from it. about 3 hours later, i tried to play it but it wouldn't work. i decided to wait for today to see if it worked, but it didnt. all that happens is that the icon with the bridge pops up, then nothing happens. i really wanna fix this without reinstalling because i have a good city that i started.

i was just starting a new city to rival my big city with 200k+ because i've hit an insane demand cap (everything's at the least demand possible lol) and i was just about to build a fire station when a fire broke out. i never knew that it could spread so quick. i tried to make enough fire stations (like 10) but they eventually burned down. at the end, i had a pile of ashes as a city. maybe i should'nt have built everything so close together.... heh lol

There is a chance that you have a ghost of the game still active. Look in your task list (CTRL+ALT+DELETE) and if it is so, right click on it, and kill it. If you are running a laptop and have not booted it lately, do so. This also applies to desktops that are suspended or hibernated. Failing either of these, check to see if your sound system is properly connected. Program won't run without accelerated sound. If you are not running windows, then use whatever tool you have to review running programs, find the ghost and kill it. In Linux you can use the system monitor. Oh, and this program requires a minimum of geekism because it was written when most users knew how to really use the operating system. Take a walk though your tutorials on your O/S. This is not your ordinary, bubble wrapped game. It needs some tender loving care sometimes. thanks! i looked in processes in the task manager and stopped a simcity-4.exe. now it runs. thx a lot

yup. i didnt. i had that city for only 5 minutes... it had to die so young... *sniffle* Pay more attention to your city polls display. yeah.... usually I can get a single city up to 200k+, but i was just so unlucky with this one burning down.

something i forgot to add: there was like 20 buildings. 20 small buildings.
