however I found a temporary fix
if you type:
bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOff
into the command prompt as an administrator it disables DEP allowing me to play the game after restarting the computer
not sure how much trouble this might bring me but at least the game works so far :)

I know nothing about command prompt so could u teach me how to do that?

little help? please?

Go into the start menu and search command prompt, then type in
bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOff
exactly like it is here with the spaces and strange brackets and press enter (if you miss a space it will not work)- it should say something to confirm that it worked, then just restart your computer and try to open Dyson
here is a site that shows you how to do it

I've tried the bcdedit trick. No difference, alas. Still hearing the music, but the window is blank.

What version of Vista are all of you guys running? I have Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) with service pack 1, and I am running flawlessly... I installed the program to my flash drive because it wouldn't run from C:\Program Files, but other than that...
I don't get why it works for me Wogan and I, but no-one else on Vista...

I've closed all other apps and non-essential background processes and it still won't seem to run fully. By "fully" I mean that it appears to load, I hear some lovely ambient music, but no screen display - just a blank window where the app should be running.
Bah. The screen shots look so gorgeous, I was really looking forward to trying this.

Hi Michael,
Can you go into the system info app (in xp it's start->programs->accessories->system tools->system info) and let me know (by PM if you like) what the output is for the components->display section?
Cheers
Alex
