Status: offline 		Am trying to load my new game on Windows XP and constantly have to abort. Keep getting a decompression error.
Am about ready to use my CD as a coaster. Any idea what this is??

XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp

Status: offline 		Hi thanks for suggestion. I cannot for the life of me find this anywhere on my system. I used 'search' function and it cant find it. Any idea where I can go to access it?
If this helps, I was able to load and run the game on my second older computer that has windows 98 but of course it wont run worth a darn on that. So the issue is something on my system.

Status: offline 		Thanks but I still cannot locate this. I open My Doocuments and there is a search option and when I paste this in there I get a message that it is 'not available.' The game still wont load.
I did get it onto an old computer with Windows 98 but of course that is hopeless, it freezes up on there. Its something in my system.
I am starting to think this is hopeless, too bad, it looks like it'd been a neat game, thanks anyway.

Good Luck

Status: offline 		Chief, I think your advice worked. I found the temp files and deleted about 100 of them that were obviouisly not being used. I loaded and got the decompression message again but clicked 'ignore' and it went on. Had to keep doing this many times but it did load and looks to be ok. We'll see. Anyway in case anyone else gets this problem just push ahead anyway- I think it's a read error and won't affect the gameplay once its installed, thanks again.
