I'm sure you guys are sick of this question, but I'm having trouble installing Rebellion on my new Windows 7 laptop. I've seemingly followed all of the trouble shooting guides and instructions but still it doesn't work. When I click on the REBEXE.exe, I get a black screen that runs. I see the program icon (stormtrooper head) running on my program bar below but no actual Rebellion program. It doesn't appear in my task bar either. All of the folders are copied the same, I've "merged" the appropriate files that you're suppose to download, downloaded and installed the correct dll's, and still nothing. Any suggestions? It sucks ... I was pumped to re-load this game on a new, blazing speed laptop and now it won't work. Kind of a heart breaker. I use to love this game!
