Hi everyone,

Thanks for your comments and for your patience. One of your fellow GameHouse members, "T_Man" posted the following work-around, which another customer validated as working for them:

"If you change the file name that the icon is pointing to - it will work. The file name is Sinbad.exe instead of launchSinbad.exe. To do this right click on the icon and go to properties. Then it shows you the file that it is looking for on the target line. Take out "launch" and leave Sinbad.exe. Save and close. Then click on the icon and it should work."

That discussion can be found in the Forum topic accessible via this URL:

I'll keep you posted on our progress toward a permanent fix for this issue; meanwhile please try the suggestion that "T_Man" has offered and let us know if it worked for you.

Best wishes,
Bill

I just tried the workaround of removing "launch" and leaving Sinbad.exe and it still doesn't work. When is this going to be fixed. If it is not, how can I get credit back for this game and remove it so I can buy another one?

It doesn't work for me either. I have decided to buy the game someplace else.

I played the game under my funpass and the problem i'm having is that when I got almost to the end of the game I get a black screen.

I have the same problem. No matter what I do when I try to register the game it tells me I have to have an on line connection. I have already tried removing the launchsindbad, "launch" and it still wont do it...very frustrating!
