PC Game acts like it's going to start up, then doesn't

[Solaq]

I recently purchased Atari's "The Temple of Elemental Evil" a D&D PC game. I install it, then I click on the icon to start it up, it blinks to a black screen for a second as if it's going to start the game, then it goes back to the desktop.

I've tried several things to get it to go. I even went back and exchanged the cd out for another one at the computer store. This happens in 2 different computers, but not the third one. All systems run on Windows XP. I want to say this is a video card issue, but it seems odd that the nice cards in my 2 machines somehow prevent this game from running. Any thoughts?

ToEE is quite a buggy game. Atari have now removed the forums but they were full of posts from people who had problems, a few of whom couldn't start the game. There are three patches available that you can download from Atari's US support site. I can't remember the URL but you should be able to get to it from

http://www.atari.com.

Try installing the patches and see whether or not that helps.
