I don't know when it started, but I tried to play Uplink the other day after not playing for a few months. I started a new account, and found that programs won't work. They open up, but won't work. The tutorial won't go to the next page, the file deleter will let you choose a program, but won't delete it. I also noticed that the time never passed. I checked my other, older accounts, and they've got the same problem. So I downloaded the new 1.3.3 (didn't just update, got the whole new program), and its got exactly the same problem.
I looked in the Introversion forums for Uplink, and found a PC user with the same problem, and they said he should delete some .dll file, and it worked for him. Well, we don't have those files. Can anyone help?

You're not paused, are you?
I don't think you can open programs while paused but it might happen.

Not paused, and I have re-installed, and I've got the same problem.

try to delete the option in the "user" directory...

That didn't solve it, nor did I think it would. I again re-installed a new copy, and it still has the same problem.

If I were you, I would send an email to the ambrosia staff, in adition to posting here.

Interesting, I have never heard of anything like this before...
Maybe one of the moderators/administrators, will know somthing about this.
