Splash screen shows, but game doesn't launch

[Jon120]

Hello

When I click the icon to run the game. The splash screen for the game shows whilst the disk spins up etc. All of a sudden disk stops, splash screen goes, and I am just left on the desktop. I have tried to run one of the games in compatibilty mode because it was released pre windows xp. But that doesn't help. I have disiabled all my firewalls and anti virus to see if that helped but it didn't.

Any help would be much appriciated, if you have any questions just ask.

I am running windows XP Home Edition SP 3

Many people had the same trouble with this particular game. I think the answer was to copy the files from the disk straight to a folder on the computer and run it from the folder.

I seem to remember seeing something about this on the gamers forum. http://www.gamers-forum.com/

Have a look through.

How did you know what game he is trying to play.

Did you get a psychic kit for Xmas?........................

I have a similar problem with my favourite game

Knowing the game being played requires no psychic skills Alan.

The game being played is pushing this post http://forums.window...showtopic=50297 down the list so that it will become lost and forgotten. :)

The problem with your favourite game Alan is that the hydraulics required are coming up close to their "use by" date. :lol:

Nevertheless. Do keep an eye on this forum for answers to the primary game: http://sourceforge.n...rums/forum/1794
