Default Re: Game Unplayable - Staff please respond

I think Jason2 may be referring to the "Range Check Error" problem that I and a couple of others have discussed in other threads. This problem does not appear to be due to out of date drivers or DirectX compliance, nor is it simply an OS incompatibility with ME, nor does it appear to be fixable with the uninstall/reinstall exercise. (I get this error on a Dell Inspiron 4000 under WinME, but not on a Dell Dimension 4100 desktop under WinME.)

The workaround appears to be to start the computer, load the game, let it crash, close the game, do something else (I haven't investigated whether the time spent doing something else is a factor), then restart the game -- at which point it appears to run.

Jason, I hope this helps. I certainly second your plea for a fix, because this appears to be a real bug and it's real annoying.
