Hi Conor,

First try the patch from:

If you still have that problem, try these steps:

Is a commended KB article that may give us an idea of what is going on. Have
you tried these Resolutions? Some games will not work if a popup open.
ALT+TAB during a game can cause a failure. But in all cases Microsoft is
interested in issues. But more information is needed to figure out what is
going on. IT could be any number of things. I have not problem running any
of the games listed but it could be a hardware issue that we have not looked
at.

What happens when RONTAP simply won't load. The game installs fine (with those patch errors) but then won't load. I have the same thing with other games, but I really want RONTAP to run! By the way RON (without the expansion) works just fine.

Please help! and please don't blame my computer or the video card or anything else, because everything else is completely up to date
