Zey Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I've had the game for a long time now, but it has never worked since i installed Win XP. I've tried it on may systems with XP and when u launch the game, the picture comes up, then just turns stops. I've tried so many different things... direct dx versions, each patch but still cant get it to work.

rigel6669 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 but it has never worked Are you running programs like a virus scanner or internet security ( firewall ) and which 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I don't know from which board this has been moved to technical issues although looking at your errors I am guessing you are trying to run Emperor Battle for Dune with WindowsXP and have Norton Antivirus installed or didn't run it in the WinXP backwards compatebilety mode . ..Do you also have SP1 for WinXP ?

Andrew Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Well first off, what game is it?What was your old computer and what is your new computer? (specs.)It may just be an old dos game, that will require some tuning to get it to work properly. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I DO have norton antivirus installed, i've tried disabling auto-protection but still does the same.Disabling will not work. Try uninstalling Norton and EBFD. Then re-install EBFD and try to play (do not install Norton at this moment). If that works, you can find here the fix in order to run both.
