failed to initialize DirectDraw: RESULT_SURFACE_FAIL CreateSurface Windowed Primary: DDERR_NOEXCLUSIVEMODE

The ONLY other game I have received this error on is Farm Mania Hot Vacation (gee - both in the Farm Mania series - this is a programming error) I can play the game full screen but when I switched to windowed mode it crashes with the above error. This is a programming error and is NOT my video driver like tier 1 tech support insisted when I tried getting Farm Mania - Hot Vacation working. This is the trial version. I have 55 minutes left and was hoping to use one of my game credits so I don't lose it in a few days.

This seems to have been a problem fixed by gamehouse in the trial version or it had to do with the buggy flash player update from adobe which they fixed this last week. Either way, the game works in tiled mode now. If anyone else is having the problem, then you will need to reinstall your flash player.

Game keeps crashing. Likely not interested in it anyway since it can only be run in full screen. Too bad, I thought I would give it a try since it is new and had not been reviewed yet. I'll look for another game to spend my credits on although I wanted you to know it is buggy and crashes.

Jump 2 the horse runs right up to the jump but doesn't jump it so you have to turn around and line up again, which loses too much time so I can't get a medal!
any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Make sure you are lined up with the center part of the fence. The side panels are not part of the jump.

you need to build the real estate agency. I generally build it in the upper right corner. The museum is key in getting the guests you need.

Next to the observation deck (remember you need to rebuild it) build a mall. That will get you enough guests.

If you need help getting the income, post back. I can finish the level in 4:30 (6:00 expert time) without even trying very hard.

Did you uninstall it and delete the folder before you re-downloaded it? Sometimes if there is a problem, it is in the datafiles that are stored and are not reinstalled. I strongly suggest you uninstall the game, find the folder where thegames are installed to, delete the forlder FOR THIS GAME ONLY and delete it AFTER uninstalling. Then re-download the game and it will hopefully be fixed. I had a similar problem with another game a long time ago and this is how I fixed it.

I need some help. A walk through would be nice. ) I am stuck on 4:6. I am just seconds away from getting through this level when the dragon comes swooping down on me. I've played that level almost 50 times and just keep missing it by seconds. Usually just have a couple flowers to pick and POOF! Thank you for any tips! ♥



Collect enough to build the treasury first. Alternate between building the treasury and warehouse as you collect resources and work towards the sawmill to rebuild on the top left.

Then work towards rebuilding the farm lower right as you collect resources. Hire another worker (build shack) as soon as you can. Only build the hunting lodge right before you need it. Use the resources renewed faster as often as you can - and collect the resources as soon as you can because time does not start to renew it until you pick up the one that is waiting.

The only way I got through the hitting mini games is by cheating (and I got a score that said it was better than the developers top score)

To cheat: One hand on the mouse and the other on the escape key. As soon as a creature appears (the first one is wasps - there are others) hit the escape key which will pause the game. Then get in position to hit the creature (wasps in the first one) Hit escape again to un-pause the game. As soon as you hit the creature, hit escape to pause the game and get into position to hit the next creature. Continue pause / un-pause until you have hit all the creatures. I absolutely hate all the mini games in this version. The first kingdom for the princess I absolutely loved the mini games - but I almost demanded a refund for this one until I discovered how to cheat and get through the hitting mini games.

Wasps are the first the other mini games have ghosts, snakes, and a couple of others.
