The fact that it works fine on one Vista/Win 7 users system and not on another, suggests logically that the system is the cause as it is different and the exe is not ... and that is where you need to start looking for the problem ... at what is different between the two systems and then you will find the likely cause of the problem.
From my experience (and that has been of remoting into users systems to fix it) , 100% of the time the problem has been down to some very weird configuration on the users system.
This is what you need to look at and address, because the problem
is fixable by the end user, as the problem arises from their system.
The cases where the problem is
NOT the cause of the end users system and
IS the fault of the pr.exe ... is like the situation with the steam version ... where
ALL the users get the problem.

Actually you are quite wrong, as the community has discovered fixes for many of the problems encountered and these have worked for other people. I read all the posts in here and their problems and solutions have given me ideas of ways to improve it so that these problems can be bypassed if possible. It has been reprogrammed for 0.9 and hopefully will be a lot more robust ... and it has been the communities efforts that have helped in that , as I would not have even been aware of the cause of the vast majority of issues if it had not been for them.
And at this point therefore ... I would ask that you stop spreading FUD and try to contribute in a helpful way please.
