    • Not Working


      When I first played the POG demo, everything worked fine, but after I quit it, it refused to start up again.
      I open it and it appears to be launching, but all of the sudden it quits before it ever finishes opening.

    • Did you copy the POG file to your hard drive?

      Yeah, I can't figure out what's wrong. Any help?

    • Same thing happened to me.

      There was a big mistake in the file on the server (to make a long story short, you didn't downloaded the right file). The version you have has a time limit in it. You could download the demo again using the usual link on the PoG web site and everything will be fine with this version.

      Sorry for any confusion.

      (sorry I messed the first post up--feel free to delete it)
      I have the same problem, only I just downloaded the demo today--so I must have the right file, right? I tried opening it once, before copying it to my disk, but it doesn't work no matter where it is. the nature of the problem is the same as above--it appears in the menu bar for a second and then disappears. Any suggestions?

      Hello-
      Where did you download the file from? Directly from our server?

      Look in your preferences folder for a file called "emitgop". If it's there, trash it. Let me know what you find.

    • Removing the emitgop file did it for me, but I have to do it every time after I quit the application.

      Thanks,

      Greg

    • What is "emitgop"?

    • Oh, sure, no one tells me when i report this problem, but spitfire here reports it and now everyone jumps at the chance 😉

      Anyway, that should take care of it for me too (and I am anxiously awaiting my CD...still)
      Thanks

      It was a while before I got any help. 😉
      Thanks Dee and David Dunham. I'm enjoying POG a lot.
