Uplink Hints
The game won't start!
1 of 5: Try in this order to:
2 of 5: 1) Use the instructions in the Readme.
3 of 5: 2) Turn your color depth manually to 256 colors (start // settings // control panel // screen // settings).
4 of 5: 3) Delete the opengl32.dll from your Uplink directory (you might want to backup) and turn EVERY extra openGL setting off (start // settings // control panel // screen // settings // advanced // <Your_Graphics_Card> // OpenGL settings), then (if it starts), start turning them on one by one to see what causes the game to crash.
5 of 5: If nothing helps, and even the Forums avail you little, you can just hold on tight and wish for the Patch to come ;)
