I am coming up to you with a serious problem I have. I am running Windows 7 (64) Ultimate, K7 Total Security (Firewall) etc.
I want to play Distant Worlds so badly that I even purchased it twice !! And both not working!

First I bought the German version of Distant Worlds in a renowned German shop and I believed that all came from a bad copy or wrong security code. After installation of the game I started and Windows Defender & my K7 Total Security Fire Wall deleted the game-exe-file after approx 10 seconds because it said it is a Trojan.
Then I bought online from your homepage the game a second time. This time I even included the Return of the Shakturi extension. Exactly the same thing happened.
So I installed, de-installed and re-installed all versions more than 20 (!!!) times including the lines below.
Finally I got my Windows Defender adjusted, so that it accepted the game. In addition I completely deactivated the K7 Totral Security (Firewall). It allowed me to start the game, but after approx 5 or 10 minutes my computer completely crashed. I repoeated this altogether 3 times.
And you cannot imagine that I forgot to deactivate the firewall when I tried the second and third time, so I had to de-install, re-install with deactivated firewall and start again. And still with the same result.
So yoiu can imagine that I am very disappointed. If it only would work I would not mind about one time loosing money by buying double, but still ....
And the time I invested for nothing I even do not count here.
Please help!
Bye,
MJ
