I mean had people started making illegal copies of MichelAngelo and other great artist of their days back then I think a lot of the great wonders of art would simply not have existed as the creators would have stopped producing.I can understand that when an old game is no longer being sold commercially or is no longer available for purchase that an internet download might be the only solution.But when a game is still commercially on the market and being sold at a very reasonable price( you can get SF for less than 10 euros or $ 15)I don't think there's any excuse.End of lecture!

One suggestion; open the game folder.You will see a starter application. Click on it( either plain clikc or a right click) to see if it your shortcut that may not be working rather than your game install.It happened once to me that the shortcut did not work properly but the game did.

Luck

oh? do you know any website or stores i can get SF less than 10 euros or $15 ? i want to buy...

Default Amazon/eBay

Iadou2001 try Amazon or EBay.I read somewhere that somebody got the game for 8 euros in Europe.I paid $ 20 for my copy from EBay but that was a while ago.In The UK I heard that you get very good deals.Since Lighthouse, the distributor, has gone bankrupt you should be able to get it really cheap.

Did you try the starter in your game folder?Try a simple click and if it does not work try the right click as the Administrator.

Cheers
