Looks like a problem with the system files, in particular the font files.

Not sure what needs fixing assuming other sims display normally.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Probably because that computer hasn't had the system files installed - you need to run that separate installer on each machine you want to run SimSig on

It wouldnt even open if you dont have system files. The system files are also on the memory stick...

In that case it must be a missing font somewhere

Depending on the sim, it will open if you dont have system files installed. I managed to get Waterloo open on our school computers but it just showed up as the picture you provided due to lack of system files/font.

Copy the installer executable, not the individual files. As already suggested, you haven't installed the font files.

Including the SimSig fonts in Windows\Fonts on the machine you intend to use.
