Error problems

[Comet~]

When I start a game (after the briefing) i get the following error: "Xwingalliance has generated an error, you will have to restart the program? Has anyone experienced this problem? the game will not run at all. My system 2.8 P4, 1gig ram, 80gig HD running win2000 prof. ed. geforce5600Xt Vid card.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to look for the Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit, but make sure you have Service Pack 4, as well (I think the game only works w/ SP3 and later). Upgrading to WinXP or Vista is also an option...WinXP should run comfortably on your machine (I have a WinXP machine w/ similar specs).

Wildstar,

 

Thanks for the info. I fixed the error problem by doing the following when running Windows 2000 Professional edition:

 

1) Insert game CD and close the autoplay window when it

pops up.

 

2) Use Windows Explorer to expand the CD and find the

install icon.

 

 

3) Right-click on the installation icon (Setup.exe) and

select Properties.

 

 

4) Click on the "Compatibility" tab at the top of your

new Properties window.

 

 

5) Check the box and select "Windows 98/Me" from the

pull-down menu.

 

 

6) Install the game like you normally would.

 

 

7) Once installed, repeat from step 3...only this time

use Windows Explorer to search for the game launch

icon and change the compatibility there, too.

 

It now runs great!
