Just a hunch, it may be trying unsuccessfully to play the opening video (if you have any in avi format).  The command line option to disable videos would solve the problem, if that's it.

Well, what that message means is that for some reason it isn't able to find (or load) cursorweb.ani from sparky_fs2.vp. (Sparky_fs2.vp should be in the same folder as the EXE, along with all the other original VPs)

You did upgrade to 1.2, right?

although another question arises ... how do i lower the ambient light like 50 or so % from current?

Check the wiki command-line reference, it should be in there.

Edit: Was upgrading the fix?
