Re: [Audyssey] Alien Outback problem

2011-07-04 Thread dark

Hello sky.

firstly, I'd recommend downloading the newest version from the draconis 
site.


I know they rejiggered several of their games such as monkey business to run 
on post xp machines, but I'm not sure if they did alien outback or not.


Eitherway, it's best to check sinse it's certain that the version you have 
on that old cd will not be optimized for modern windows.


then, quite often when someone gets runtime errors in windows 7 trying to 
run older games, it's just because of lack of components.


Try installing jim's winkit file, which often fixes these sorts of problems.

Btw shane, I believe Sky meant 3 gb of ram, not 3 gb of harddrive space, 
sinse you can buy 3 gb memory sticks, a 3 gb harddrive would be pretty 
pointless, especially with windows 7 that I believe takes up a good 1 gb of 
space all by itself anyway.


Beware the grue!

dark.

Hello List, I have a problem with the game alien outback. When I start the
game it says error! Runtime 6 overflo. Ok button. I purchased the alien
outback game in 2002 on CD so it is version 1.7, but there is a new 
version
from dracomess. ESP Pinball 1.4, monkey business  1.9.1 Dynaman 2.x, and 
ESP
pinball xtreme and pinball party pack run fine. I am using windows 7 with 
a

3 GB hard drive.

Interesting as the other games work fine on the computer. I didn't get a
error message when installing the game
