ok well i gave in and spendma frew bucks to get the horse armor mod....but now it wont install >.> says my system isnt compatible...

I'm pretty sure my windows is a 32bit version.(it says at the moment only works with those). Could anyone explain to me how i can double check to see if my system is indeed 32 bit or not?

Well regular Windows is a 32-bit one. The 64 bit Windows is the beta version, free, which you download from the net, and it requires a 64-bit CPU. When you load the system it says Windows 64. So if you are running a regular W, then it's a 32 bit one.

EDIT: If indeed you have a 32 bit system try this:

1-In Windows XP if you don't want to (or know how to) boot into safe-mode but need to be Administrator to run a program, "Right-Click" on the .exe "Oblivion_Horse_Armor_Pack.exe" then select "Run as..."
2-Instead of selecting "Current user (COMPUTERNAME\UserName) choose "The following user:" and select "Administrator" from the drop-down list of users.
3-You will need to know the Administrator's password for the computer, however most computers purchased from a store will have a blank password (unless you changed it yourself)

OR:

1-Reboot in safe mode with networking.
2-Log in administrator account.
3-Install the package.

OR:

1-Hit Start, Run, type msconfig.
2-Select Boot.INI tab and select safeboot and check networking. Hit ok and reboot.
3-Login under Administrator account and hit ok. Then run the installer, finish install and go back into msconfig and unselect safeboot.
4-Reboot

Ah well, I know it's no consolation but there are quite a few people with this problem, and one other. These are the solutions they came up with, not Bethy. And as far as I know, they still got no response from Bethy on how to solve those who weren't solved by this. Let us know what happens.

Another good add for the Yellow pages, Ashen, I'd appreciate if you posted that there too.

I got it to work^^ thanks! used this method

1-Hit Start, Run, type msconfig.
2-Select Boot.INI tab and select safeboot and check networking. Hit ok and reboot.
3-Login under Administrator account and hit ok. Then run the installer, finish install and go back into msconfig and unselect safeboot.
4-Reboot

The only differnce being, on my comp the admin isnt used(i dont haev to log in when i start up comp) so i had to go into the user to be abel to see the
file.

now was this armor worth 2 bucks...lol thy should have done like 4+ armor or somthing jsut for fun since your payingXP

Aha, excellent, I am happy for you! It really would have been awful if you couldn't get it to work .. and yes, the rest is another story

Sure Luis Antonio, I didn't even think of it but will do!
