or for Vista/Win 7

Near the Windows Start Button, type in the Search box the word 
regedit   
to open the registry and check your settings are

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Dark Omen\1.0\Options\Options]
"Selected"="1"
"SoftwareSelected"="228"

or

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Dark Omen\1.0\Options\Options]
"Selected"="1"
"SoftwareSelected"="228"

and read this...
