Umm Hello, im new to BC, I tried to install this game on another PC weeks ago and I got the same problem, the files are updated, but just when its starting it pops up this error: "bout.dat has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I already reinstalled it, im using XP SP3 and I dont know what to do know.
Thanks.

Hello, this problem is usually due to not having the proper video drivers, Navigate to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management, then click on "Device Manager toward the middle of the left side.

Take a screen shot, and upload it here.

Thanks!

Wow thanks, I already knew I had a driver that was outdated, but I didnt think it could be a problem, I just updated it and now I can play, thanks for all :) Problem resolved.
