GameGuru not working
Hello,
I tried to run GameGuru Classic for the first time on my new PC today
and it starts up with a black screen instead of the grass level and just starts looping
as if it was trying to load something but im unable to do anything.
Tried to look it up online but couldnt find anything usefull.
My graphics drivers are up to date.

I already tried to verify the game files + reinstalling but to no success

Does anyone else have this issue?

Specs are
Geforce RTX 2060 super
Intel core i5 10000-something
32gb ram

Not sure but the Windows 11 Home still has S mode .



Try this . Go into settings , look for ' For Developers ' and in Developers Mode turn On . If that doesn't work you can go into the Microsoft Store and search for 'Switch' out of S mode . This will remove S mode permanently (you can't go back) . I don't know if Microsoft Store still has it available .
Go onto YouTube and look around before you do anything .
This worked for me but no guarantees ..

I am using a Gateway 2 in 1 notebook with a Celeron CPU (1.10ghz) when I go to the local coffee shop on Saturdays .

I looked it up and did all the steps but im running Windows 11 Home, not in S mode or something.

I tested GameGuru on my laptop, where it runs with no problems, just on this PC it seems not to function
correctly for some reason.

I dont know what to do else

Are you running it as Admin ?

Have you downloaded any other programs ? Do they run OK ?
