Hi all,

I have bought a game called Warcraft III a while ago. It worked on my former computer, which was a Windows XP Professional Home Edition.

Now, this pc was taken by my dad and now I have to work with this Windows XP professional. (Not a home edition and it's a laptop).

I tried to install the game again. It worked. Now I tried to run, but everytime it's about to load the main menu, it crashes and following error appears :



Now, is there any way to solve this? If so, how?
And what does the error means to by the way?
Would appreciate help.

Cheerz,
BaldirIs the game downloaded?What are the specs on your MACHINE?

Have you tried a memory test? What other programs are running on your machine?

Not downloaded.

Actually, I bought it, I had this error, but then downloaded the expansion. Couldn't find it apart, so downloaded the first one (I have on cd) together with the expansion, but I had the same error with the bought version.

I have a lot of programs running on my laptop.

What kind of info do you need?What RAM and hard drive space have you got?
Also, what video card dedicated memory have you?

Go here, and make sure you can run the game:
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtestFind the games .exe FILE and create a desktop shortcut.
Then to set it up right click the shortcut and select compatibility mode...
More DETAILS Here...What's this compatibility mode?

I have a Dutch computer, and I don't see anything like that actually :s

When I want to start VIA the shortcut, I have to mount the image via Daemon Tools first, OTHERWISE It says I need the cd inserted. (can't remember if that patch solved it or not)

Will take a look at these links in a min

this is a Windows XP, so It's not an older programma to run on this laptop.

The box says Windows 98/ME/2000/XP

So it can't be this compatibility mode.

checking the can you RUN it atmWIIII!

This is an amazing site!

problem solved!

I used the compatibilities thingy, and clicked the Windows 2000 box.

Now it works fine!

I'll swear I'll never think I know more then you guys! :p

Love you and thanks for the help!Quote from: Baldir on January 28, 2009, 04:27:05 AM
