Regarding the previously mentioned "Close on startup" game, this morning I tried reinstalling the entire game from scratch, then updated the GPU driver into the latest version (14.something). Just to make sure, I also updated the GPU driver of my PC as well so we have the same driver version.
The result? Still no change. The game worked on my PC while closes immediately on his PC. I ran out of Idea now.

Well, the only thing I can think of is something is seriously messed up with his PC. Try reinstalling Windows?

Well... I finally went ahead and tested Linux with Pablo and Greta... and both passed with flying colors. Thus, I am switching back to Linux for my everyday OS. It's been an adventure though....
First off, I tried Linux Mint 17. Works 'swell on Pablo and Audrey. I then tried openSUSE with Greta. I got her Nvidia Optimus setup to work, and they even have the older KDE 3.5!! But I ran into some issues. The HDD had too aggressive power management causing very frequent spin ups and spin downs, and KDE 3.5 doesn't have power management at all. Odd seeing as how KDE 3.5 has been officially supported since openSUSE 12.
But, there is Trinity, a modernized fork of KDE 3.5, and it's available for Ubuntu-based systems. I'm now getting ready to setup Lubuntu as a base and go from there. Installing Trinity in Linux Mint yields a working TDE, but breaks Cinnamon horribly.
As for Lilly, she will remain with OSX and Windows, but I am trying to get a Vista or XP VM setup for the Adobe programs.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.

The Why am I even bothering with this? I hope I won't regret this project.

Jack and his mother from Into the Woods = Sour Grapes and Jackfruit Jam in another world, definitely Sour Grapes (as opposed to Stella Grapes)
At least that's the impression I get.
