It warned me that I might want to update my graphics drivers but the game could run at low res. It was open long enough for me to register, celebrate and turn my computer off for the night. Now the game refuses to run anymore. What am I doing wrong?
I'm running windows vista. Does that have anything to do with it?

When using Vista you need to launch Spore by double clicking the
Spore icon in the Games Explorer (
Start > Games). Alternatively, you can start Spore by double clicking the
SporeApp.exe that can be found in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE\Sporebin. You do not need the DVD in the drive once you have installed Spore.

Please help  ? ? I want to get back to my game
some additional info:
-I played for 2 hours straight before turning off spore
-In Games my performance rating is 3.2 and spores minimum is 3
-I did nothing inbetween the time i first played it and tried to play again other than shutting down the comp |
Check whether you are starting Spore correctly as above, if you are I would suggest contacting Support.
