Start problems Shadows of Angmar LOTRO

Hi
I have just purchased LOTRO Shadows Of Angmar. I have spent hours loading it. I have got a codemaster account with 45 day free trial [Gold edition].

Everything starts up ok [password etc] but the play button stays inactive and therefore blocking me going any further.

Can anyone help to solve this ?

regards

Hi there,
Have you downloaded all the updates/patches yet? This is normally an automatic process when you login to the game. Which operating system do you have? If it is Vista, you will need to do the following -

1. Right click on the program launch icon

2. Left click on "Properties".

3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.

4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.

6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.

7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".

8. Double click on the program launch icon.
