Support / Re: Major issues/unplayable

I played the demo of Aquaria one year ago. Everything was working fine. Then I finally purchased, installed and tried to execute the game yesterday. But I got an error message when the two bars are getting blue at the start. The program terminated without even getting to the menu screen or the company logo. The demo which was still installed, did also did crash the same way.
I use a desktop machine with WinXP (32bit), a Radeon X1950 graphic card and a Creative X-Fi sound card.
Since the demo worked before I came to the conclusion that newer drivers were causing the problems. After reading this very thread I decided to try the graphic drivers first.
I did first uninstall my ATI drivers (Catalyst 9.8 ) and installed after the reboot from the ATI/AMD Support site some random old ATI graphic drivers (Catalyst 8.12 ).
As a result the game now runs well. (Yes I know that it doesn't make sense to use an outdated graphic driver but anybody who experience the same problem might find this usefull)
