SEIV and winME

Phier · #1 May 15th, 2001, 03:16 AM

Saddly my laptop came with winME instead of the win98 I ordered, and something about it doesn't like SEIV. It installs fine but when you try to end the turn it gives a 'file access denied' message. This is either the 1.02 or 1.35 Version. Any ideas?

Mail a large explosive device to One MicroSoft Way, Redmond, WA?

SEIV seems to work fine on WinME (I play it both on a desktop and a laptop).

The only things I can think of is check that all the SEIV files are NOT read-only, and check the disk drive for physical errors (i.e. Run Scandisk with Surface Check).

Then if that doesn't work, try sending a large explosive device to Bill.

I did read somewhere that SEIV is *not* WinME compatible. I think Wolverine's trouble free usage on ME is the exception rather than the rule. I have a friend who can't run it on ME.

Hahahahahaha, trouble free usage. Good one. I've never seen those words associated with a Microsoft product before.

If ME works better for me than anyone else, then GOD HELP YOU
