your welcome .I found that link by searching Google.com
im not sure if anything could make windows Better.lol a format maybe lol

just checked the game compatible os are 95,98,Nt & 2K, thanks I should have thought to check that

ok,you can try running it in win98 mode and 256 color mode and lower the resolution, then click on the exe to run the game

thanks for info are u saying it can't be done

no , of corse not ,what os are u running ,how old is the game ,was it developed for win98 or winxp maybe and you are trying to run it on Vista .
before you click on the exe to run the game ,right clcik on it and choose ,properties/compatibility,and choose different windows os maybe or even choose different display properties

site to study for a repair install when you get the xp disk .
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1.htm

hold the power button in long enough and i bet it will work ,i think that maybe you cpu or even you ram is over heating, you have 1 gig ram is it 2x512 or 1x1024, if you have 2 stick of ram try removing one[and then the other ] running computer and see what happens .check cpu fan for dust build up .

try memtest86 to check the ram for errors
www.memtest86.com

try this link .

when you backed up the mydocuments folder did you get it from the desktop or this file path .
C:\Documents and Settings\your User name\mydocuments.

my RF modulator has both RCA[red,white,& yellow connections ] and s-video connection,check the back of the box you have for the dvd connection

im ,not a gamer but over the years have install a few just for fun,[need for speed ,monster truck ect ect ]and screen resolution was some times a problem for me,i would get nothing on the monitor .or compatibility issues, like trying to run a win98 games on winxp OS.

I was there and i did quick update but there is NO Roll up2 anywhere i can see ????

so,try the custom update and see if its there ,i cant look for it because i don't have same windows version as you, sorry

do the bells and whistles include a good video card ,that meet the games system requirements

I do have the 1.1 hotfix but it saids it is KB928366. It has different number, do i remove this ?

no ,only remove the one mentioned in the link,if it not there then you don't have to worry about removing anything. just go to the windows update link in the artical and get the roll up2.

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

try ,opening case and removing ram and hdd cables ect act and then replace them just to re-seat them and try that .,also remove the video card if it has one and re-seat it

follow the instructions here fairly strait forward .
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900325

no i cant boot the computer at all. thats the problem, because when i press a user name(safe mode or not) it will say 'loading personal files' then a blue screen wil pop up for a second then it goes back the the users and says 'logging off'.
thanks for sending the disk.

is there any text written on the blue screen

Does anyone have a good overclocking guide =my safe guide is bother,but thats just me !
links to guides.= http://www.google.ca/search?q=overclockers+guide&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

http://www.overclockers.com/

most likely cause is you jarred something loose ,unplug computer and remove and reset,the video card the ram and the ribbon cabe from the dvd to the motherboard things like that

take away the (
i think ,
but i don't have a answer to the change name thingie

try safe mode see if it works ,hitting f8 on bootup .
also if you have another computer in the house you could remove hdd from bad computer and install in other as slave to get the pictures off ,if no other computer ,remove hdd and take to computer repair shop and they could copy your pictures for a small fee.
hdd=hard disk drive

the disk is on it way to you to-day ,i have reread the first post and i think you blue screen is just the fake screensaver blue screen of death install by the rouge antivirus program ,hitting the enter key gets rid of it .can you boot the computer at all ,if so try this program to clean up computer ,www.malewarebytes.org

Can't prove it but I think it only happens when IE is open.

stop using IE, and get Firefox, www.firefox.com
also give the computer a full scan with this program .www.malwarebytes.org, after the scan click show details and fix what it finds ,and then use this program .if you haven't all ready done so .www.ccleaner.com

just the upper and lower filters

unplug the router from its power source and leave it out briefly , then plug it back in ,then refresh the network list on the laptop

just delete the upper and lower filters from the right column

file system corrupt...please run chkdsk (the system actually demands a chkdsk on restart)

zeroth

try chkdsk /f ,from the recovery console repair when you boot computer from the winxp cd.

try unistalling the program ,then make sure it never left a folder in program files on the harddrive .if so delete it ,then run ccleaner to remove dead registry entries ,run the registry scan 2 or 3 time to make sure all is gone .then try reinstall,might help might not

a number something like this one aMMDD-BxxJX-KxxPG-8xxHJ-YxxY8.
and sticker something like this one

email me your mailing address

and he said i doubt it because its illegal.

and im still trying to find a disk from a friend and calling local computer stores.

it might support vista . second it might be illegal but i do it all the time ,i would mail you a copy of winxp homefor free,as long as you have a winxp key on the computer it will work.
I think big company's selling a computer with out a copy of windows just to save them some money ,is illegal !!!!

your only option i think is to right click on the link to the next page and choose open in new window .like gerbil i to only use IE when i have to

right click on the screen when dvd is playing usually gives dvd controls!

Okay, well shows how much you value your privacy, capjack

Oh, btw you use the wrong "here" in your signature. Don't want you to look too stupid now.

kma.
I don't have a signature

to the best of my knowledge the fat system one will not see the ntfs one.

did you turn on file sharing
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040

It is very simply work. File replaced by a file with the same name moved from another folder, and it is very likely the replacing file.

WHAT!

its impossible to say whats wrong without knowing some more info about you computer ,like the motherboard make and model #.

to caper
I guess youre addicted to posting or even better posting is addicted to you, I thought you were gone.
glad to see you still around
[sorry for the invation]

lol,going through withdrawals ,just taking the edge off ,

just for the heck of it over the past few years i have installed different Linux os on many different boards and they all worked .also ran live cd Linux on many different boards all worked for me

Once infected, always infected.

Bull Droppings.
lots of free programs to clean computer of infections safely

Ad-aware se
ccleaner
grifsoft avg free
spybot search and destroy
winpatrol
windows defender
.

some really good programs ,you are missing one of the best new ones though!
malwarebytes.and its also free to use the scanner removal part ,real time protection in the paid version.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

lol,im fine ,i don't use either ,just have to help my wife figure out how to use I tunes .lol

you need to boot to the winxp cd ,and go to R ,for repair and when you cet to the prompt ,type in , chkdsk /r, not there is a space between k and /

i will jusr touch on part of your post because i never read it all ,just to say itunes sucks ,and it didn't install in your music folder that is where it keeps playlist info and other stuff and music file it rips from cd's if you chose to do so.it did not install there .

But for bigger disasters - MoBo failure, fire, deadly virus, worm, a separate hard drive in the same computer will be as useful as dental floss in a beer-drinking contest.

lol, reminds me of the office fire that destroyed the computer and the secretary purse,no problem with lost data said the secretary i make backups to floppies everyday ,where are they said the boss ,answer was ! in my purse !

hello ,when you get to this part

When I choose ANY option, including safe mode, it shows the windows loading screen, the mouse pops up and I can move it but the screen stays blank

try to do alt+ctrl+del ,and see if you can get the windows task manager up .if yes ,try ,file new task and type in ,explorer.exe and see if it will bring the desktop back

try f8 on bootup and go into safe mode .then uninstall one or the other
===============
To get into the Windows 2000 / XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

Ill keep that in mind for when I want to post you something.accuracy.

Whatever!

does it really matter in how I say it...I just want his machine to work.

yup ,does to me ,means a lot
flashing bios isn't recommended unless you know it fixes some issue you are having !

1)
3) install the most recent bios off a floppy from another pc.

I disagree on that suggestion! for motherboard maker maybe !

do a chkdsk /p /f
