if it is an installed game try installing it again, and if that doesn't work contact the help people from the game's manufactures.

Insert the Office 2003 CD and then try installing the stuff..it would work!\n\nCurrently its trying to run the package from the installation cache of Office 2003..which is not available..hence the error!\n\nAll you need is the Office 2003 CD!

best thing to do is get a full .iso of cd then mount that thru alcohol 120 then play\ntry mounting the main .exe file with the w3 icon

Can you be more specific? Have you tried running it in a DOS environment? Old 16 bit games will work perfectly on a 32 bit Win XP machine...so what are you trying to do?

Are you on as the Admin? Does that error occur when you try to install it or when you try to download it?\n\nIf you have a 16 bit system, and youre trying to install a 32 bit program, it might give out that error. If you have corrupted system32 files, then it might give that error. You might want to do a scandisk on your computer and do a file repair.\n\nIf you need a fix to get rid of the genuine check, then contact me.

MS-DOS has always been backward compatible. This means that a DOS based program written to run with say MS-DOS 5.0, will run with MS-DOS 7.0 . I have only found one exception to this and that was when I tried to perform an MS-DOS 5.0  "Restore" function from a MS-DOS 3 "Backup" disk.\n\nYou may be able to add another DOS version if you partition your hard drive then add a different OS there, like a straight MS-DOS

It should already be compatible.  If not, then right-click on the shortcut or exe that you use to run the game, and click on the "compatibility" tab.  Check "Run this program in capatibility mode for:" change it to Windows 98, and try it then.  If that doesn't work, then try Windows 95.\n\nPersonally, I've never come across any Win 95/98 program that would not run in XP.

The cost of XP becomes moot if you're using an older computer that won't support the remaining minimum requirements of the game. And I'm gonna bet that's probably where you are.\n\nUpdate: Well, I'm at a slight loss because when you mention "Professional", there is a Windows XP Professional. Still, without actually seeing how your computer is acting or responding, it's hard to make the most accurate diagnosis.\n\nBTW, here's an odd "fix" I experienced from when my stepson bought and tried to load "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault"... it said it loaded, but never played. We went back to the store (Target, just for reference) and traded it in on another copy of the same game. Took that home and re-loaded it, and it's worked fine ever since.\n\nI can't guarantee you'll have the same luck, but it might be worth a shot. You could just have a flawed CD copy of the game.

Windows is picky about being the first installed OS on a drive, so persuading two versions of Windows to run together is not easy. Try:\n\n1) Examining the compatibility settings in XP - it can offer to appear to be more like Windows 9x to certain programs\n\n2) Running the games in DOSbox ( http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ ) - if they need Win98 to get at DOS mode - though the default setup may emulate too slow a PC\n\n3) HyperOS : http://www.hyperossystems.co.uk/\n\n4) QEmu: http://qemu.org/ (maybe too technical for most users)

Make sure that your video card is compatible with the game.   Check on the website or under the readme in the CD/DVD.  Also, update the video card driver if necessary, because the most updated driver will guarantee the card support the gameplay.  Check if you have DirectX 9 installed in your Windows.  If all these are checked and done, it should be ok.

The age of the game may mean that the components or "code" for the music software cannot be run on your computer.  If the rest of the game works, then maybe just put in a CD and rock on!

did you turn on the computer. go to control panell and add it in you have to tell your computer to download it and you either have to go to the control panel or to the icon my computer the game should also have follow step by step instructions in the cd case. Another option call technician might help. It should just start downloading but there may be a defect with the game and can cause a virus so be careful. I would call the company back and tell them your deli ma
