i can't install stuff..

[mr.Bojangles]

hey,

just wondering if i could get some help with a little problem i'm having. i can't install certain programs in windows XP. actually, i've ran into two that don't work so far.. cloneCD and No One Lives Forever.

i get some message saying how setup can't do it's thing.. this is weird because it worked before on windows 98 and my friend has tried installing cloneCD on his windowsxp machine and it worked.

thanks in advance. any advice would be appreciated..

btw, i've attached a pic of the error message which pops up.

Remember, Windows XP can't install some of the software that was only meant for Windows 9x. Also, there could have been a connection severity which might have corrupted the file during the download process.

Just my 2 cents! :D

Have you updated Clone CD to the latest version, it's worth a shot. :)

Not sure about the game, but it might not be compatible as Webgraph said.

thanks for responding..

actually, i've downloaded the newest version about 20 times and always the same result. plus, no one lives forever doesn't work either.. which is odd. i thought it could be a problem with security settings and the like in windows.. but i'm no expert in that area.

well, if anyone else has any info.. i'd appreciate it.

thanks..

have you tried that emu thing

Since you had no luck trying to install these programs after 21 times, I suggest that you go back to either Windows 98 SE or Windows 2000 Professional. That seems to be the only solution possible for you, msn! Sorry about me recommending you to sacrifice XP! :(

[mr.Bojangles]

well.. before i did something i would regret later :), i decided to do something less drastic and reinstall windows XP instead. and oddly, cloneCD installed properly after i reinstalled windows. i still dont know why it didn't work before.. but it works now, so i'm happy.

well, thanks anyway!

You might have done an upgrade instead of a clean install at first. A clean install usually solves the majority of the PC problems! :)

[mr.Bojangles]

actually, i did a clean install.

i think somewhere along the way, i installed something or changed something that did something to windows.

pretty vague.. but there's no other way i can explain it.. :(

Weird! :paranoid:

I've heard of mixed reviews on Windows ME, but this is RIDICULOUS!

I thinks ye might be screwed.
