application error 0xc0000142? I installed simcity box and when i went to play societies I get application error message. Says it failed to initialize properly? my dx diag is attached, can someone please help? I have gone through other threads that are relavent and have uninstalled and reinstalled after I cleaned up disc space and refraged my comp. I tried to download the 2nd service pack but it says that there was a problem installing societies and that I might need to reinstall. As I have already installed the game twice I dont think thats the problem, but I am computer stupid soooo........ PLEASE I really want to play this game. Also I have noticed threads with 900 viewers and no replies, If my problem is like those with no replies could someone please tell me where I might be able to find a solution, thank you for your time.
If you can't find anything here the I'd suggest you try out the www.simtropolis.com website. Sounds to me like a file didn't get copied over correctly in the install. Personally I would try reinstalling and turn the Anti-virus off when you install the game.
