Nope, no other versions to get confused - just the two versions, torrent and 
non torrent.  Now, after having done the reinstallation of the drivers 
(already updated, and were already installed on my comp before it went 
crazy), I clicked on the torrent version, just to see what happens and 
VIOLA, it works fine.
I'm still scratching my head on this one.
*shrug shrug*

But yes, Hello Kitty is EEEEEEEEvil!!  It's an addiction no one can explain.
BTW, this open beta version is WAY bigger than I thought it was gonna 
be....I get totally lost, but then, I just started.  If I didn't have a 
general idea of where everything was from closed beta, I'd be in real 
trouble - now they have added Tokyo, London, Paris, etc and several new 
characters.  I think everyone from AGLAMI should play.  It should make for 
some interesting HKO blogs, in the very least.
