And it's just fine. As for a no read ahead install with nothing running other than Explorer or Systray, I'd already done that. CD Copier, my virtual silence 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 silence no problems. Nor did it indicate any problems on any of the subsequent reinstalls. With no one reporting success yet, the torrent silence 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. Turns out the downloaded version of the DivX codec was no different than the version that shipped on the Forever Worlds CD. |

And, just to put everyone's mind to rest, the loading problems did not relate to Win98. rts While this appears more specific, it's really not. Forever Worlds, on the platforms upon which rts it fails to load, requires Windows Media Player Series 9 as its MP3 player. Nothing else will work. On the other hand, Forever Worlds does not require the DivX rts player, just the DivX codec. And though it is possible to load Forever Worlds on Win98, the game can only be completed on Win98SE or higher. When none of these suggestions produced results, additional generic advice was offered. Try the game on another computer to determine if the disks are defective. Run the DirectX diagnostic tool to see which version of DirectX is present and if there is a problem. Set the CD drive to no read ahead and to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to close all programs other than Explorer and Systray and then reinstall the game. 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. |
