DukeLeto Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 How can I get it to work on XP? ??? It says I need a patch.(I have two CD drives.) Got the patch. But it still gives me an error saying there is no or an invalid CD. ??? This is all with compatibility set to Win 9x/ME. With Compat. settings off, I get a GPF (It says it had to terminate.) Any help? ??? Anyone? :( PLEEZ! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Have you made sure that your OS is updated ?Also, do you try to run the game from the autorun menu, or do you run it via clicking the file/icon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I've looked at your dxdiag and couldn't find anything directly wrong that could solve your problem. I did notice that your videocard drivers are outdated, but I doubt it'll solve your problem.The GFP error message, what does it actually say ?

DukeLeto Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 The error:homeworld.exehomeworld.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.If you were in the middle of somethig, the information you were working on may be lost.Also, where can I update my video card's drivers? ???

Nyarlathotep Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I've seen problems where updating cd drivers solved them..What brand are the cd drives ? I would suggest to check the manufacturers website.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Now that we're sure you've updated everything, it looks like a corrupt ptogram or incompatibility with another program.A thing you could try is to close down all backgroud programs that are running. Other programs that might conflict are cd copy programs or virus scanners (I have expecially bad experience with Norton *shivers*).Also, is there a way to have the patch automaticly downloaded, like with EBFD, or do you need to download and run the patch manually ?At this point, I would also suggest to try Sierra's tech help. They seem to have a good tech support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted August 30, 2002 Author Share Posted August 30, 2002 Yeah, I have Nortan, but I closed it...and I'm afraid to do anything in XP...That "proscesses" screen scares me... :OOK, I guess I'll go to Sierra. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 tsjeez that's weird. i too have winxp and my system is not that much different from yours. Except that you have a amd XP processor but i doubt that that would cause that problem. It's too bad man. Homeworld rox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
