If you are getting the "Unknown Error" message when trying to launch the game, the following step might help you to resolve the issue.
1) Make sure you have a sound card installed, and the correct drivers for it.
In my experience, 90% of the time this is the cause of the error. DarkSpace requires a sound card and the drivers installed to play - even if you don't actually have any speakers turned on or plugged in.
If your sound usually works OK, goto:
Start >> Control Panel >> System (Make sure you are using Classic View) >> Hardware >> Device Manager
Check to see if any devices have an exclamation or red cross by them, if this is the case, then some devices are not installed properly. You may need to install the correct drivers for these devices before DarkSpace will work correctly.
If you are one of the rare individuals who doesn't happen to have any sounds card in their system, you can try using a virtual sound card driver that fools DarkSpace into thinking you have one installed. An example can be found at
http://www004.upp.so-net.ne.jp/ja1scw/0MixWeb/reaudio5.zip although this has not been tested with DarkSpace.
2) Scan your system for Mal ware
This is sometimes a cause that can prevent DarkSpace from initializing properly due to it tyeing up vital system resources and having other nasty effects on your PC.
Will post other known causes as and when they turn up...

make sure you download the latest version from the Palestar host, the setup you downloaded might be corrupted.

Well i have been getting an Client.exe error for a few days. I have checked my settings and seem to be ok on everything. I have played before and don''t know why a sound card might be malfunctioning or something. At first it goes through all the stages and then it goes from a restored view to a maximized view but i can see the toolbar and the top and sides of the windows, instead of the full black screen. Then a Client.exe error comes up and exits the program and back to GCQL. Any help appreciated.
Your FunkyMonke,
Junky
