  • Games keeps crashing after installion

    Operating System: Pentium III, windows XP
    Burning Software: None
    Anti-virus Software: Norton Antivirus
    DAEMON Tools Version: v3.47

    I mounted and installed and ran Empire Earth 2. The game went smoothly for the first mission, but as soon as it got to the second one, I was given an access violation error during loading.

    I've copied and pasted the error here:

    EXCEPTION: ACCESS VIOLATION
    0x005ee03d: offset 5ee03d from [(unknown)]
    EAX: 00000090h ESI: 05524458h

    ES: 00000023h GS: 00000000h
    Flags: 00010206h CF: 0 PF:1 AF:0 ZF:0 SF:0 OF:0

    I'll appreciate any help.

    Does it run fine from original CDs?

    A Pentium III-based system is awfully old for new games like EE2 and is likely to have problems due to ancient video cards/-drivers etc.
    Win2k3 & OSX Intel, 2GB DDR400 P4 2.6@3.55 H2O, 7800 GTX @480/1250 H2O, 1x74GB Raptor, 8x400GB RAID5

      I agree with JariK-Tietomedia, you might never be able to run such a new game on that hardware.

      But a few ideas for you: Check your DirectX version (latest is v9.0c released August 4th 2004), run the dxdiag tool, re-install direct X, check for and/or re-install your video card drivers, contact the Sierra / Vivendi Universal support people to ask how to enable software-only rendering mode if it is available, disable spyware or disable useless programs in the background, run msconfig tool, and do you have enough RAM or pagefile space, etc, etc.
