Please help me, I am trying to install a game that I have recently bought. I used to have the game a few years ago, but lost the disc, so I have bought it again. As soon as I click "Install", the message pops up, "setup.exe has stopped working", then it says. " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available." Has anybody experienced this problem before? Or does anybody know how to fix it? Thanks, Ben -- BenKohlerCadmore Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Contact the game's tech support or look for game user forums. Without knowing what game, it's impossible to be more specific. Offhand, I'd guess that the game wasn't designed for Vista. If there are patches/workarounds, the game mftr.'s tech support people are the go-to guys. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Malke The Game is Command & Conquer: The First Decade. I used to have it on Vista and used to play so it is nothing to do with that, but thanks anyway. Ok thanks. I will ring them tomorow, or go back to Game and ask them about it. Cheers -- BenKohlerCadmore Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
