Recently I bought Combat Flight Simulator 2, when I tried to install it the only thing that happen is that I got a yellow sign with a ! sign in it!
I read the readme file and it states something like poorly written installers replace a certain file and therefore the installer cannot proceed.
Same thing happend with Motorcross madness 2.
I have almost certainly installed a thousand programs and games during my days and this is the first time I encounter a problem like this!
Makes you wonder who writes the poor installers?!
Oh no! not Microsoft...
This makes me f*cking mad! THEY of all companies should be able to write a functioning installer for their own OS?!

So...
Anyone knows how I can avoid this irritating problem?
And yes, I use Wind98 first edition.

what os are you running? if its 98se you might have to update your install shield. rename your current one (its in your program files ---> common files folder, i think)and go to the ms site and search article number q292539. i had all sorts of problems installing stuff until i updated to v1.2 i think it is. anyway, good luck.

...and i would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids...
 
1) I can't figure out your expletitive, B***s. Bills? As in Cash-money?

2) What vid card do you use?

You might as well crank up the 14.90 drivers, and GTU to go with it.

Browse to <A HREF="http://www.guru3d.com" target="_new">http://www.guru3d.com</A>, and you'll find the drivers and GTU 3.04 (or whatever version, now).

It's all on the left side of the page, under downloads or drivers. I forget.
