Cannot load the game

[Mesocyclone]

My best bet would be that there is some error with the gamers gate added software and you should contact their support for help. At the moment we don't have any other ideas

[size=medium]. After typing in the activation code the program tried to connect to GamersGate servers, but failed (Error code 5). Starting Penumbra again as administrator got me another dialog, I can't remember what exactly, I repeated this too often. After trying all possibilities suddenly I was through.

But when did you get a chance to fill in the activationcode? Via the icoonlauncher? There is nothing what openens here...

After trying to load the game via the 'execute as administrator' (right mouseclick on the Penumbra-icon, then there appears a pull-down menu), I don't know the exact term, because I have the German version of Vista, I translated this from German. Then I got a window with the name '@ctivate' to fill in the code.

Well it appears to be a Vista 64 problem I guess, I ran it on XP and it installed just fine. I'll try it to back up on CD and copy to my Vista OS.
Fingers crossed.

I hope the activation didn't put some essential files hidden in my old XP config, wich I need too
