Hi

I’ve downloaded and installed winSPWW2 and patched it to Ver1.1B.
When I try to start the game I get this:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

WINSPWW2 caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> on address 0000:83ca775a.

My specs:
OS: Win98SE
Language: Swedish
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2,0 GhZ
RAM: DDR 512 Mb
Video Card: Voodoo 5500 AGP
DirectX version: 4.09.00.0902

Any ideas what I can do?

Cheers

The requirements for the game are as stated here: Game Requirements

You have Directx 4, when version 8.1 or better is required. That could be the problem.

I would try upgrading your DirectX to version 8.1.

NB - the game requirements are also in the manual, and if you cannot launch the game, you can get to that by navigating to program files/shrapnel games/winspww2/game notes folder and opening the spww2guide.htm file

Cheers
