Solve : Can't run "The Rise of Atlantis" Game? |
|
Answer» Help! My wife and I are addicted to "The Rise of Atlantis". We ORIGINALLY downloaded the free version on GameHouse.Com (with commercials) and played approx. 3 weeks with no problems. The game locked up and wouldn't open. I un-installed the game and ASKED their tech. support for help. They said to remove the game and also told me to go to (regedit) then to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER and delete the "Rise of Atlantis" file and also to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and do the same thing. I did all that. I tried downloading the same game from other sites IWIN, etc. with the same results. The game downloads and the installation Wizard INSTALLS the game. When I click on the ICON the hour glass appears and then dissappears. The game doesn't open. I have 5 or 6 other paid Gamehouse games that run fine, I bought the "Rise of Atlantis" CD on Amazon. It came today. I installed the game successfully but it does the same thing. I click to "Play Now" and the game never opens. I have Windows XP Home edition, plenty of spare on my hard drive, DirectX 9 with upgrades, All drivers are up to date. Like I said all other games run and open and play fine. It's like there is some file on my computer blocking the game from opening. I don't get a security warning from my security software. Does anyone have any idea on what I can check? Any suggestions would greatly appreciated!!!!! If its currently installed, you could try uninstalling it with http://www.martau.com/tu_download.phpThat might work but I'd be out another $30 if it doesn't. I've ALREADY got $20 in the game itself. Thank you for your reply though.Hi. I ran into a similar problem. I played the game on AOL and loved it. I found it on J&R Music and Sound and bought it along with Magic Match. Rise of Atlantis loaded successfully, but would not play. Magic Match by the same company, works fine. I called J&R and asked for a replacement. I just received the replacement and it is doing the same thing. I had contacted Oberon with the first CD problem on line and found a phone number. I never received a call back. I had to clarify that I did not download the game from them, but it is their product. I received several emails and the last one is asking me to download the game from them. I have not responded as yet. Like you, I believe I will be charged for the download. I have two CD of Rise of Atlantis which are not working. I may attempt to reach Oberon again stating I found this site and if you look, this problem had 333 hits before me. I think that would indicate other people are having the same problem. If I find out any answer, I will post it here for you to find. If not, I will return both games, with great disappointment. If you should find out an answer, please post for me to find. Thanks Strawberry. If I find out anything I'll let you know. I'd appreciate you doing the same. Thank you!! |
