Yes, I'm free - I managed to complete and get rid of all the annoying things that I had on my to-do list for the week :)

Wow, you won't believe the battle I had tonight. Getting a game to work properly - first it was a struggle to even get it to start, which is too wrecthed to recount in detail. The interesting part is what happened afterwards - after I actually started it, it would randomly crash when trying to actually get inside a level. I started digging online and I found this really weird solution. Pay attention now... I had to go to Windows's sound settings, the Recording tab (normally I never go there due to the lack of a microphone). There is a feature there (called "stereo mixing" or something like that), but it is invisible/hidden, so I had to right-click and select the option to make it visible. Once the feature was un-hidden, I activated it. And this solved the game's crashy problems, which made me sooooo happy.

I can't even remember the last time I had to lead such a fierce fight just to get one thing working. And this is surely one of the weirdest and most obscure workarounds I've ever had to use.
