Can you tell us a little bit more about the problem? How does it not run?

 

[prawn]

have tried compatibility mode[windows 95 and windows 98.When i go into windows explorer and click on SETUP.EXE windows tells me this file cannot be found.What am i doing wrong?

 

[Ian]

So you put the CD in, browse the CD and try to run setup.exe and it gives you that error?

There seems to be a solution on this website :

But it is down for maintenance at the moment Once it is back up it should have the answer there

Hi Ian



I have this game it is the original from 1998, I just recently retrieved it from my collection of games and installed it on my XP machine even though it is windows 95-98 it played flawlessly for over two hours, so not sure what the problem could be....but i couldn't believe it when it started without a hitch...

Looking on the web it looks like there may be a problem in config with this game running in compatability mode....but thats all i know...

I have a similar problem with AvP gold edition (LOVE THE GAME) when ever i select something on the menu (like start a game) the sounds in the background keep repeating, even in the game...
i really want to play the game again!

Your 'problem', Alf, is the sound drivers and or 'looping' of the game ...
