S! all, Vamp, before you do any uninstall/re-install of Rise of Flight, try the following:
1) When you start up the RoF game, you should see the Rise of Flight game laucher, as shown below. Do NOT click on the start button, instead, click on the update button and go to # 2 below
NOTE: you can also get to this window by going to the Rise of Flight release folder usually located at C:\Program Files\Rise of Flight\bin_game\release (under Windows XP) and click on Settings.exe
2) When you click on the update button from step # 1 above, you should see the ROF laucher window, as shown below.
NOTE: you can also get to this RoF laucher window by going to the Rise of Flight release folder usually located at C:\Program Files\Rise of Flight\bin_game\release (under Windows XP) and click on rof_updater.exe

a) Click on the Update button and let your RoF game update to the latest version of RoF. Be sure to let the update install its version of DirectX, even if you have a newer version of DirectX, because RoF needs the version included with the update to run properly. Then start your game and see if it runs ok.
b) If after updating (and installing the version of DirectX that is offered with the update) your RoF game still won't run ok, then repeat steps # 1 and # 2 but instead of clicking on the update button, click on the Recovery button and the RoF game will attempt to repair itself. After the recovery completes, you should be able to start the game.
3) If your RoF game won't start correctly after performing the update and if necessary, the recovery, then you might have to try the uninstall and re-install option.
Hope this helps!
