How can I get spore to work?

I just bought spore for my windows XP and I meet the requirements. I installed it and it installed fine, but when i tried to play it a window popped up saying, " spore has ecnountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I dont know what to do, can someone help me please?How can I get spore to work?
you probably are lacking space on your computer...or something has gone wrong with one of the files. you might have corrupted one accidentely. try reinstalling. if not, go to tech support. specifically tech support run by the company that created the game
I would love to know. I installed Spore on my computer a few weekends ago, and it worked fine. I had to install a new hard drive on my computer just recently, and now i get that error message when I try to load spore (although the actual re-installation process was just fine).



I'm pretty bummed. That copy of spore was a gift to me from my dad, and I can't gets it to work :( I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling, hopefully that will work. My video cards should be up to date, but I'll check on that if plan A fails. Otherwise... Guess I'll try to contact EA or Microsoft about it :S Good luck... How can I get spore to work?
I had a very similar problem; took me a week to sort it out. For me the problem was that I used the Creature Creator before getting the full game, and the uninstall function did not properly uninstall it. The solution was to manually uninstall the Creature Creator and then reinstall Spore.
Spore is pretty F***d up....I could never connect to the internet servers and have tried everything



Great game ( although a bit overated).....If you're having problems phone EA although the support is crap





You are not alone
