NFS2SE = Needs 180793k more to install. Driver = Game.exe has a problem and needs to close. Hoyle Poker = CD integer/by 0 won`t install. AthlonXP1800 80GB HD 1024MB DDR Ram.Thanks Hilton.	Guest (0)

The rest of those errors are complete horse, I'd be inclined to think your computer has a major flaw, possibly in hardware... Check how hot your CPU and system temps are, anything over 55 for the CPU, or 30 for the system is alarming. Also, do other things crash often? The obviously incorrect and somewhat random nature of those errors would point to something in the system that is repetitively and consistently failing, such as the CPU overheating, or Windows in need of a re-install. Check your system over thouroughly to see that it is soundly constructed (you didn't get it from the PC company did you?), and make sure windows is happy, check for viruses, check the amount of unused physical memory (you should have at least 600mb)... Good luck, Erin	Guest (0)

It does not crash often and there are no viruses.I have 792.02 MB of unused physical memory. I don`t feel like reinstalling Windows just to play some games as much as I enjoyed them. There must be another way. Cheers Hilton	Guest (0)
49699	2002-05-22 04:46:00	Hi Hilton,I also have an Athlon XP1800 and I had a similar problem to yours when trying to install Hoyles classic card games. i.e. integer = 0 I managed to install it by declining a systems check and installing anyway when it told me the system failed. Don't know about your other games but its worth trying. Freda	Guest (0)
