In the drop down box, choose Windows 98. Hit OK, let it install. If it installs completely, don't run the game immediately. To run the game, if it puts an icon on your desktop, do the same procedure as above to put it in compatibility mode for windows 98. Then try the game. Right, ok I got rid of Kyro, it appears that it came onto my comp along with a patch for another game. This is the stage that I am now at. As above I have set the game up to install and run in Windows 98 mode but thats as far as it goes. It doesn't install on my desktop nor does it run. Can anyone help from here? Cheers

Sadly I got the same message, so it appears to be something to do with the setup software, which in all honestly I have never seen before! The message reads: No device information could be read from the following INF File. This file will be ignored: C:\Cvr3w2k\drivers\kyro.inf Now, the file exists and it is a text document, however I have no idea what the code says and where it could be corrupted! Do you think I could delete this software and not experience any problems? My thinkig is that surely that would allow the standard setup program to take over? Anyone have any other ideas? Cheers Lucky

Thanks very much, I'll have a go at that

I looked where you suggested and nothing stood out. I do know that it is a 3D video card and I have no doubt that it should run the game. How do I perform the installation in Windows 98 mode as you suggested? Cheers Lucky

Interesting question which believe me I would love to answer! My main problem is that I know little of the jargon needed to get around this problem and worst of all, the set up doesn't even open for me to get a chance! It did run on my comp when I was using W98 andafter changing to XP now it won't even load. The file I previously mentioned I can locate on my comp and open in 'read me' text fashion and it says last accessed in 2001 but the setup doesn't recognise it's existence. The best case scenario in my eyes would be for me to remove any files related to the games previous existence, but they aren't available either. As I previously said I dont know where to go next! Really just shooting at ducks! Cheers Lucky

I have searched for advice all day so hopefully I am in the right place to get it. I have been trying to install Sim City 3000 on my computer which runs Windows XP. I have had different errors arise which hopefully I will document: I put the disc in, the autorun works, I click install SC3000 and the installer loads up, 99... 100% - Excellent! Up loads an installer called Kyro, click next and... bang! the error message says the installer file C:\cvr3w2k\drivers\kyro.inf could not be found? I have no other options from there as it shuts itself down! Can anyone suggest a way around this? Or alternatively are there any after market installers I can download to take over? I dont know where to go next so any help would be most appreciated. Cheers Jon
