Since the game's installation routine was incapable of setting the game up properly on a Win98SE or ME system, trying the game on a different system would yield nothing more than another failure. Since the game won't allow itself to be installed without DirectX 9.0b present, Dxdiag reveals that the version of DirectX installed is, indeed, 9.0b. And it's just web guide fine. As for a no read ahead install with nothing running other than Explorer or Systray, I'd already web guide done web guide that. CD Copier, my virtual CD drive, requires that the real CD drive be set to no read ahead. And, as mentioned in the original post, the game installation log revealed no problems. Nor did it indicate any problems on any of the subsequent reinstalls. With no one reporting success yet, the torrent of generic advice continued. Download the DivX codec directly from DivX. Check which version of Windows Media Player is currently installed. And, again, assurances that Forever Worlds had been tested on Win98 systems and no problems of the sort I or others had encountered had been found.
