Hi noob7, welcome to TSF.

Which game are you trying to install?
Have you tried running the installation in various compatibility modes?

thanks for the welcome

the game is mech warriors 2 which runs on 95, im trying to download it onto xp so thats proly the problem

what type of compatibility modes would you recomend to try to fix this problem?

it doesnt really matter that much, cause i can always buy a newer version of the game

Give this a try:

Quote:

To install MechWarrior 2 Win 95 version on XP you must do the following:

1. Go to the program compatibility Wizard. Start - > Programs -> Accessories - Program Compatibility Wizard

2. Insert MechWarrior 2 CD

3. Run the Wizard and select that you want to use the program in the CD Rom.

4. Select Windows 95 on the next section.

5. Next Section check box the disable visual themes.

6. Finish off the wizard and run the mech2 installer.

If that doesn't work, you could always try installing it in a virtual machine.
