Download Angry Birds for Windows.
Bought and downloaded. Played well. Next day, I couldn’t open the game. Kept getting the mesage “The ADP runtime was unable to initialize”. Is there a fix?
having same problem as Charbar2. Anyone know of a fix?
I have the same problem as you two, except that I did not even get to play at all. =(
Angry Birds won’t run if you have the IntelAppUp window closed and try to run it from your desktop. You must keep AppUp open and then it will work. Works for me that way.
