Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card? I just downloaded the latest drivers for a computer with the same message, and it works great now.

Sounds like a permission problem. You can try running SG in administrator mod, or make sure your game files are not marked "read-only"
Here is some more information in this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=1874


This will be fixed in the next release, as the game will use the User's ApData folder.

Well, it depends on where you installed it. try looking:
C:\Program Files\ Smokin' Guns

1) right-click on the Smokin Guns folder
2) click on Properties
3) click on the Security tap
4) click Edit
5) select you name in the list
5) click the Full Control box
6) Click OK, then OK

Or you could simply:
1) Right Click on you Smokin' Guns shortcut (on your desktop)
2) click Properties
3) Click the Compatibility tab
4) then check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator"
5) Then click OK, and OK


Also, you dont have to wait for 1.1. We have a beta out now that you can download and install:
