Eufloria won't start (windows 7)
« on: February 27, 2012, 09:52:35 PM »
I purchased Eufloria as part of the Steam sale over the weekend, but can't get it to run. I get a white window, followed by a dialog box that reads "LoadLibrary failed with error 998: Invalid access to memory location."

Video drivers are up to date. (Catalyst 12.1)

Windows 7 SP1 32-bit
Athlon II x3 435
4GB DDR3 1600
Radeon HD 5770 1GB

Don't really know how to help, but try updating graphics drivers (a quick Google suggests it's a graphics problem) or running it with Admin permissions.

Thank you, but I have already tried both of those as well as reinstalling the game and unfortunately, no change.

I know it sounds odd, but try creating a new user and seeing if it'll run there. Failing that. try to roll back the drivers, or reinstall Direct X
