Both myself and my brother have had issues with the game corrupting itself. We haven't been able to reproduce the things that cause this, as it appears very random. We both are using entirely different computer systems though they both are windows xp. He bought the online version via his star dock account, I bought the retail version. After several games playing it online multiplayer together both of our copies get corrupted, by this I mean everything works fine until you select the candidates and than push the start button, it than drops you back to the desktop. If you play a mulitplayer game the end result is the same, but it has other oddities such as he will select say George W. Bush, but on my screen it will say Condolezza Rice. Any help would be appreciated.
