kb.exe has stopped working on startup

I got an email from D2D asking me to re-download the file making sure I used their downloader and deletig all instanes of the download/installed game off my system. I did so and it now works fine. Corrupt file at either the D2D end or corrupted in the DL process maybe - but interesting that I wasn't the only one. DON'T download the zip file by right-click download, install the D2D downloader and get the file with it (I had to use IE for this, not Firefox) as it auto-extracts the zip as part of the DL process.

I had a quiet giggle over one or two other emails that I got saying that my video card/laptop (6 months old) was too old for the game etc... because the demo and original game play out just fine as do games that have higher resource needs But I guess you have to exhaust every avenue.

I followed your suggestion of using the D2D downloader with IE Explorer and voila it friggin' worked!
Might have been worthwhile for D2D to mention this sort of thing. Not everyone uses IE Explorer, after all, and not everyone likes using d/l managers!

Still don't understand why it did work under WinXP without this "trick", though. Ah well, I'm good now. Thanks for the help!
