"Install -> restart -> CRASH!"

Posted by Radek on Mar-23-01 at 06:01 AM
I installed the game and a window told me that my computer would be restarted. Ah, well - W&W is a system driver. Does not matter... I pressed the OK button and the computer was restarted.
The Windows crashed during startup. I was told that I had to reinstall the Windows. Luckily, hard reset allowed me to get Windows back and the game seemed to work. I uninstalled the game and installed it again and I obtained the crash again. During the crash, the text screen showed chaotic letters on the screen and the crash message in both cases.
Here is my configuration:

PIII 550, Genuine Intel
motherboard: QDI BrinianX
video: ASUS V3800 Ultra (Riva TNT2 Ultra), 32 MB
memory: 128 MB
HD: Caviar 13.6 GB, ATA 66 UDMA, bios: SMART on
sound: Sound Blaster 16 (because of OS/2 installed on the computer)
PS/2 Mouse, Zip 100, FD 1.44, CD Toshiba 40x

OS/2 Merlin Boot Manager
OS/2 Merlin
W98
The game is installed in its own 2G partition. No special software installed - Windows are used only for games.
DirectX: the one coming with W&W
video driver: the one coming with the video card
other drivers: W98

I haven't seen this one before though I have heard of a lot of crashes on start up. You might try the Technical Message Board at Heuristic Park.

Good luck
