Does anything happen at all? If not, go to the installation folder and
click on the exe file direct. Sometimes the shortcuts are faulty.

i clicked Autoplay in the folder itself. nothing Tom. Its common problem
for some people with this game but i am suprised i cant find too much stuff
about this issue on the net that could help me.

Sometime these 'launchers' (or autoplay for that matter) are faulty.
They usually point to another exe file within that folder. If there are
other files, try them.

Nah. nothing works man. i clicked all that is clickable in that folder.
How about you do have this parody of a game too ?

Have you tried the Compatibility Way? Seems the game is a couple of
years old. And sorry, but I don't have the game. Was it a download or do
you have a disk?

Copatability way? you mean right click>properties>compatability>95, 98,
whatever?
ye i tried that Tom. Nothing works. i have this game on a brand new cd,
legal copy of a game, but i suspect that it may be cd- rom copy protection
that won't allow me to run a game. its just a guess . Patch did no good

You have to *INSTALL* the game in compatibility as well. Create a
shortcut to the install program, set it to compatibility and install.
Afterwards set the shortcut for the game also to compatibility.
