Solved my problem of getting Skip-Bo to launch

GameHouse Forums > skipbo-castaway-caper-forum

I bought Skip-Bo after playing it online. The first time I launched the game on my computer, it played fine. After that, every time I launched the game, it would hang at the title screen. A customer service rep had me check and change a few settings, and the game launched. But it hung again the next time, and the next. Got busy, and never had a chance to get back to customer service about it. By accident, I discovered that I was able to launch Skip-Bo after a previous game had changed my display settings to 800 x 600 and didn't change them back. So now, I change my display settings to 800x600 before starting Skip-Bo, and no longer have problems launching the game. I am running Vista with SP 2.

I have Windows XP & have the same problem with Skip Bo & changed my display settings to 800x600 but that had no effect on the game. It still froze on the title page. HELP!!!
Also, I have uninstalled & re-installed Skip Bo numerous times. HELP!!!!
