Error report from Abe Hoffman.

I downloaded the game and the installation process worked fine. However, when I try to execute, the Window opens but then the process stops working.

I think this is because on some systems, the data loading takes a long time, and Windows thinks the game has crashed.

I've done some work with multi-threaded loading, so the game window should continue to receive "paint" events during game load, which will hopefully resolve the issue.

I'm going to do additional work to attempt to get some sort of progress bar or something in place, but it's actually harder than you would think (there is all this messing around with multiple OpenGL contexts and the like).
