That link doesn't work for me. I think it wants me to have an account and log in before I can read anything there. Can you copy that post over to here?

Yes I can see that picture. Strange. I don't know what's going on there.

Check for spaces, blanks, commas, etc, in the directory name and the directories above it.

Rename the directory/directories so there are no spaces.

sorry i don´t unferstand exactly what you´ve written. Which directory do you mean, that of my game? What do you mean with space, commas and blanks?

Seems like you have already mounted the game directory as "drive C:", so just type "dir" and find the game executable to start. If you have many files in the directory, type "dir /w /p" or "dir /p" instead of "dir".

But what do you see when you type dir?
