I have exactly the same problem!
I just bought Spore and installed it today,
I run it on a Vista laptop with a NVIDIA 7600 fully up to date,
and I first got the 1010 error claiming that I need to download
the latest drivers for my gfx card, but when I go to the NVIDIA
site it turns out that I have the latest version already. Yet I get
the 1010 error from Spore... Weird eh?
Then, when the game does boot up, the screen tends to freeze.
Sometimes it freezes immediately, sometimes only after I click
something. But nevertheless, it freezes constantly.
When the screen freezes, I can press Ctrl+Alt+Del and then click
"abort"/"cancel" so the game screen pops back again unfrozen.
Then I can move the cursor over things and that works, but as soon
as I click anything the screen will freeze again. It does so in every
menu, in the settings menu, in the Creature Creator menus, and in the
main game menus. Doesn't matter what you click or in what menu
you do it, but the thing freezes.
I have not yet been able to play a single minute of this game.
So far this game has cost me a whad of cash, a lot of patience,
and what trust I had left in EA.
PLEASE HELP! I NEED A FIX FOR THIS HUGE BUG!
Since EA is apparently not replying at all, it may be good to have
a second option besides sitting around waiting for them to provide
customer service. So does anyone know if they're giving refunds?
