Hi everyone,

I picked up a copy of MechWarrior2 at a half-price bookstore, so I knew it wasn't going to be the latest and greatest. That's okay - this is the second computer game I've ever bought, and the first was Carmageddon back in '98. Yes, I'm not a hardcore gamer, and I'm okay with that. =)

The problem is that I have WinXP and the installation program crashes after the registration option. It doesn't matter whether I register the game or skip the registration; the program still crashes.

I know that certain programs absolutely won't work under WinXP no matter what you do to them, and others can be tweaked and/or patched to work. Can I make MechWarrior 2 work under WinXP, or did I just buy a game I can't use?

Thanks,
Isaac

arrrrghhh, same error here. I am searching the web for an answer now. This is a common problem but with no answers that have resolved my issue. If I find anything that works, I'll post it here.

How do i connect to games on the games it gives me an error saying (coudnt connect to server...)

Help would be appreciated.
To answer your questions try installing the game through ADD or Remove programs in the control panel or checking the CD for scratches
