Title: Problem with Installation Post by: stryfe0208 on March 09, 2007, 06:22:17 pm I'm having trouble getting the installer to work. I'm running Windows 2000. I've tried to make the installer work by doing two things:
1. Double-clicking on it in the ordinary way 2. Running dosBox, then attempting to run the program from there When I do 1, I get the following error report from Windows: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem C:\starcon\uqm-06~1.exe The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:0dcf IP:01b5 OP:63 26 20 4f 70 Choose 'Close' to terminate the applicaiton. If I choose "Ignore" instead, I get several similar messages. If I ignore them all, eventually it just sits there and does nothing. If I do 2, the computer simply sits around and does nothing, or perhaps it is doing something but not getting anywhere with it. Any help on what I should do? Does the program run on Win2K? Title: Re: Problem with Installation Post by: meep-eep on March 09, 2007, 06:45:26 pm This sounds like a badly downloaded installer file.
This can happen for instance when you select "save as" on a link, and actually save the "select a mirror" download page as an .exe file. The installer and game do normally work on Windows 2000. Title: Re: Problem with Installation Post by: stryfe0208 on March 09, 2007, 11:19:21 pm Thanks. The problem was pretty obvious once you pointed it out. :-[ The files did look rather small, but I wasn't thinking about that. "The game is pretty old" is what I was thinking and therefore expecting something small....but obviously 16.8k is ridiculous! ::) Anyway, I'm downloading it again the right way. Thanks again.
