PC CD Rom game installation query

AdeM_2

Hi Guy's,
I have installed a fishing simulation game on my pc following the instructions supplied but as soon as we try to play the game the screen goes blank and we are kicked out of the game and a note appears saying 'memory access violation'
Any ideas ?

Cheers

Vista or XP

if Vista you need to right clcik on the exe file for the game and check it has administrator rights , also try compatabilty mode in XP format rather than Vista

We are running XP

Browntoa

does it give you a code as well , like

access violation at address 0055E531 in module

globalds

have you checked on the game makers web site for any patches?

We've just tried it again but there is no access code ?

What do you mean by patches ?

Sometimes when for example windows does an update it may stop a game from running properly .The developer then produces a patch that will allow the game to run again.
If you want to list the full title I will have a look and see if I can post a link. But it is probably just as easy for you to look yourself .

Not a great deal their .Maybe just un-install and re-install .It doesn't look like it takes a lot to run.After that I can't really think ..

It's probably DEP stopping it from working. You can add an exception to DEP for the particular program.

Here's an explanation of what DEP does and how to add an exception.
