I see that you are having problems as well. See did you try running it in administrator mode. I had the same problem and this seemed to help me so try that but right clicking the City Driving Simulator and click "Run as administrator" hope this helped if it didn't reply to this and I will see if I can find another solution.

Thank you MM but I have probably tried that dozens of times by now and still the same result. I really am having concentration problems and headaches due to suffering with Fibromyalgia which is similar to ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I'll get back to this when I feel better. I realise that it is probably my computer that needs to be set up correctly to get it working correctly.

Cheers ;)

SUCCESS ! ! ! !

I downloaded the new 8.1 Windows for my Windows 8. I then I reinstalled the game on my 'D' drive as I like to keep the 'C' drive for the operating system.

The installation was done as Administrator and then I put the Activation Key in to register and got the window up saying it wanted a security key as per usual and again it wouldn't load. So as previously instructed I tried to start the game again as Administrator without luck and it wouldn't start. Note I close the Security Window before trying to start the game.

I then tried something which I had tried before that had not worked but was worth trying again... I double clicked on a 4gb patch that I use for other 32bit games and instructed it to work with this game... this time the game started ! ! ! ! Hurrah ! ! ! :woohoo:

As I have tried it all before without success I can only assume that that the Windows update helped.

Anyone else wanting to try the 4gb patch which is free and very easy to use can download from here:

PS. The patch is for Window 7 and 8 only

Happy days.

Thank you for all the help guys especially Kivlov :kiss:

Sadly that did not work for me. I have been trying to get this to run since spring. Although I'm not on Windows 8.1 like you said.

If you have Windows 8 then 8.1 is a free update from Microsoft. :)

I guess I will try it! Worth it if it makes this work!
