jwinter, my install of windows is as clean as can be expected. I updated a clean install of xp on a brand new partition to vista ultimate edition. Since installing windows I have installed 6 pieces of software: AVG, Adobe Reader 8, Firefox, Civilization IV: Colonization, King's Bounty, and Babylon (a multilingual dictionary). And I don't really browse the internet, either - only a handful of sites, all of which I trust.
The one thing out of the ordinary about my computer is that it's a mac, and I'm running windows in bootcamp. However, I played Colonization just fine, and on my desktop back home I've played probably a dozen games through bootcamp without encountering anything out of the ordinary.
If I haven't had a single problem related to running windows on a mac with the dozens of other applications I've used, I shouldn't have a problem like this with King's Bounty. Not to mention I would be very surprised if everyone else having this program is using windows on a mac.
So given that my computer is as clean as any developer can reasonably expect, and that me using a mac is pretty much ruled out as the culprit (at least directly), then it stands to reason that it very well may be a software problem.
