Sneakgab Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 ARGH! Emperor Battle For Dune refuses to work! Whenever I try starting the game up, is closes right before the menu screen appears and then sends me back to windows or vice-versa:D anyway when attempting to reinstall, the most unfortunate thing happened… I uninstalled the game and then was going to reinstall but when I tried to load up the installation CD, I was greeted with the following message, twice in a rowAutorunAutorun has caused an error in KERNEL32. DLL (not sure if there is a space between KERNEL32. and DLL or notAutorun will now closeIf you continue to experience problems try restarting you’re computerThen after that, I was greeted by yet another message:RestrictionsThis operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact you’re system administrator.I have attempted restarting as well as trying to load the setup via explore but unfortunately restarting has yielded no fruits and trying to load setup via explore simply results in ‘’setup is not responding’’…dohIt seems that I will never be able to enjoy outwitting my Ordos or Harkonnen hoards opponents ever again using my sneaky tricks as I defend the name of the sneaky and strategical Atreides ever again:(Unless of course I make another copy of Emperor Battle For Dune using my CD writer:D but unfortunately, a copy would probably have the same problems:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Could you please attach your dxdiag ?This problem could be due to several things:1) Drivers of hardware2) Drivers of software3) Software incompatibility or corruptionIf you use Windows xp/2000, make sure you're logged on as admin..

Nyarlathotep Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Try this: Go to start => run and type there dxdiag. On the display and sound tab there are test buttons, please run them. When done, go back to the first tab and press "save all information". Save it as an txt file on your desktop. When you reply here, attach the file to your reply. That would help a lot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Do you have any cd copy programs or Norton ?Make sure you close all background programs (press [ctrl]-[alt]-[delete] once) when you put in the cd (except for systray and explorer)..

Nyarlathotep Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Well, I can never tell from here and I rather give to much info, then to less ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakgab Posted October 4, 2002 Author Share Posted October 4, 2002 I don't think i have Norton (done a search) but my computer does automatically scan for errors whenever it restarts without proper shut down :-XSearch just found the followinf files, they could be remaining remnants of a deleted program however:XQ Norton disc doctor on bootXQ Norton disc speed on boote.t.cIt's version 1.21, and i guess the likelhood of them being remaining remnants of a deleted program is minute to say the leastBy the way, do you still require the sound diag?

Nyarlathotep Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 No, sound diag is not needed. Make sure you have updated your drivers, especially your video card drivers. Other things you could try:1) Try testing your memory. You can find a program to do that here.2) Make sure your computer is not overclocked.3) Select Control Panel > System, then select the Performance tab, click the Graphics button. Turn down Hardware acceleration by moving the slider a notch to the left, reboot, try again. Repeat as necessary.4) Make sure your power supply is working and is not to dirty. Same goes for your CPU fan.The above things are common to cause any kernel32.dll error messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
