Railroad Tycoon 3 - Weird problem? Unread post

Ok so I've installed RRT3 with no problems, got all the patches/expansion/vista fix and what not but when I go to launch the game, it changes my resolution then music starts playing but no actual window?

Like I alt-tab to find it and it doesnt show up, even though music is playing...

This is the weirdest bug/glitch/whatever I've ever come across in any game.

Can you guys help?

That happens to me every once in a while, I know exactly what you mean. Most of the time I just relaunch the game and it usually works. If not, just restart your computer.

never happens with me - before i got the vista patch though i would get something like that - only it says that "RT3.exe had to close" and the music still goes - i have to use task manager to end the "RT3.MP3" program prossess - it still goes until then.
gismoskip, current RT3 player working on the maps of tomorrow for RT3. better belive it.

Can you give a screenshot next time so I can see if it really is the same problem? It doesn't happen every time for me, but if it does for you then there may be a problem.
