Catastrophic failure in 0E .....
I got a Win98 (US), a Matrox G200 Millenium

64 mb DRAM and 200mb free space on C:
Tried the program on a win95 Machine and got error in kernel32. (program did not start)
On both machines we get an error when trying

Can't help I'm afraid but where and when did you get the UK version?
animaster posted 02-18-99 08:08 AM ET
I did buy it yesterday. In Norway.
I suppose it is the UK version as it is the version we normaly get in Norway.

Make sure to install DX 6.0 off the CD. Did you see the Firaxis Logo before it bit it?

I have reinstalled directx6 from the cd.
I dont get so far as getting the firafix picture. I have defraged the disk before installing and i scanned the disk. Checked for the cih virus but didnt find it.

Are you specifying a swap file size, versus letting windows handle it? Try running DXDiag.exe and look for "!". Also, run the directdraw/sound tests.
