Uninstall and reinstall. But first, could you tell us what version of Windows you're running on, your memory and video card?

Hey, the same (removed by Vicsun) started happening to me last night... When I try to enter either the Apothecary or Curiosity Shopee...

I'm running on a Pentium Celeron 2,2; 512 DDR RAM; GeForce 4 MX 440 54 MB-RAM; Windows XP SP2...

Now I have to reinstall?! man, I hate that...

It sounds like a corrupted installation which means you should try to uninstall and then reinstall, as per fable's suggestion, but failing that you might also want to update all your drivers. Many problems are due to old/bad drivers.
Vicsun, I certainly agree with your assertion that you are an unpleasant person. ~Chanak

I got a lot of errors in some games until I uninstalled XP Service Pack 2.
