I found that it crashed the program as soon as a game was launched for some reason. When checking to see if there were any corrupted files or whatever by clicking on the "About" button, it simply sent me to the website where I was informed there were no more current updates. Not sure what the problem is as I'm just running Win XP. Pity as I was digging the way the launcher appeared (not to mention the cool update to the audio track) and was looking forward to using this as the base for some interesting mods.
