I recently got this game and it ran just fine when I loaded it and launch from the install. When I went back to keep playing the next day it would not launch. I hadn't gotten very far so I re-installed, and again it ran just fine from the install but would not let me back into the game after quitting. Every time I try it just tells me the exe has stopped working, click on more detail the app has crashed. I'm not the most tech savy person so maybe I have missed something, but does anyone have an idea of what I can do to keep playing, or what I've done wrong?

It is possible that by running it from the setup, it runs elevated, so try running the game as an administrator and see if it helps.

I tried running the game in admin mode and I really wish I could say it worked. This time the computer asked if I wanted to let Torchlight make changes, I of course clicked yes and it though for a moment before crashing. My friend who recommended the game to me is running it on a laptop, but using the same version as I am, 7 (64-bit). We tried comparing notes, but both games seem to be set up the same way. In vain hope I tried the Windows trouble shooter, it gave me info this time, it did not last time. It explained that I needed to run the game in XP Service Pack 2, this did not work either. Thank you for the idea though, it did at least help me get more information.

I know you posted this a long time ago, but I figured I'd state this anyways. Install it again. This time try either playing the game in windowed mode or reducing the resolution. No idea if that will help, but it is worth a try.

Posting this here in case anyone else has this problem.

Did you install the game to a Program Files folder? The Program Files folders are specially protected in Win 7, and games installed to them frequently have problems. Try installing the game somewhere else and seeing if that fixes the problem.

One of the things that kills me about the GOG version of Torchlight is this "1.8GHz CPU..." crap. The Steam version says "800MHz CPU...". Not to mention the fact that Torchlight has a "netbook mode" in its video options menu.

Not so ironically, I have classmates who play the GOG version of Torchlight just fine on 1.6GHz netbooks. So I'm starting to wonder what's up here.

My laptop (2.7GHz dual core CPU, 4GB RAM, 512MB GPU) runs Torchlight on max settings just fine. But I can see how netbook and older laptop users would get frustrated. The game offers a netbook mode, and its manual states "800MHz CPU...", so it should run on netbooks.

Not to pick nits, but games reliably understate system requirements. Enough so that it has been a frequent scandal. Whatever may be GOG's level of blame in a potential increase in system requirements, I never take seriously what a box or manual says are the minimum specs to run a game. They're reliably a joke, unless you like stuttering frame rates, sound dropping out, unplayability over the net or a network, a ridicu-bad resolution being the only one that will run, frequent pauses and lock-ups, etc etc ad nauseam.
