SoA and XP Pro

Post by Krusader »

Do you know if the game will run on XP Pro?

Whenever I try to install it it crashes.

The autoplay opens fine but after clicking the Install button it crashes.

TIA for the input.

Well I didn't actually try to install it on my system with Win XP pro installed but I assume it works.... would be really crazy if it didn't....

I second that.

you could try to copy cd1 to your harddrive and install it from there. Don't know if it will help, but it's worth a shot.

Try checking out the official bioware message boards. There's lots of fixes for hardware/software problems to the game listed there. http://forums.bioware.com/ It could be either a hardware or software problem. I had one with my new PC, the computer would suddenly restart without any warning. It would do this at any point in time and didn't appear to have any triggers. It turned out to be the sound software for my motherboard (never would have thought of that).

Hope it helps :)

BTW I'm running XP Home Ed. without any problems, I've got quite a few fixes/files/addons for the game - everything is fine.
