Hi Katharina,

QTINSTALL is most likely the Apple Quick Time Player installer.
Try downloading and installing it independently of the game from:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qt/ I hope this helps! :-)

Hi Katharina,

Unfortunately there's no information on the Apple helpsite
pertaining to that error message:
http://search.info.apple.com/?as_q=...=&Submit=Search

Here are some known solutions for tackling Kernel 32 Errors,
Invalid Page Faults, and Exception Errors..

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startu...tartup_full.htm

2. Reinstall the game to overcome any data corruption:
a. Backup any saved games and/or mods to a safe location.
b. Uninstall the game using Control Panel / Add-Remove programs.
c. Clear any references to the game leftover in your registry using:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
d. After a reboot close & exit your Antivirus and any other programs
using this method: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
e. Install the game again from your original CD, do not use a backup.
f. Don't reuse the saved games/mods until you properly test the game.

3. Run a Virus Scan: http://housecall.antivirus.com

4. Remove any Adware, Spyware or Trojans using Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de

5. Finally, if none of the above works, Microsoft has an extensive troubleshooter
which applies to all games, including the titles listed in beginning of the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=280068#ScopeCause4
