LostRacer 0 Posted January 29, 2003 After doing some searches on here for a few days, I saw a few ways to get this game working on earlier versions of WIN2k. Well I tried all, but only one actually worked . This one here. I saw that some people were having a problem finding the "imagecfg.exe" file as well..I was one of them. So I did a search and came up with this So far so good. By the way, I am running SP3. good luck! Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted January 29, 2003 From my NT Game Compatibility List: ME: Heavy Gear 2 Download the Windows 2000 Application Compatibility toolkit from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/compatibility/ Use QfixApp on Heavy Gear 2.exe and click "Win95VersionLie.dll" Click the "Advanced" tab. Then click "Create attributes file". Then go to the AppPatch folder in the Windows folder and click on Heavy Gear 2.reg Now all you have to do is run the game like normal from the Shortcut! Reinstall this .reg if you reinstall windows! Share this post Link to post
lt_frank_castle 0 Posted January 29, 2003 I had the same problems with heavy gear 2 in win2k. Seems to be a common trend with older activision games in general. I recently got hooked on mechwarrior 4. If you haven't tried it, pick up a copy. Chances are that you will like it since u like HG2. Share this post Link to post

I don't know why the Qfix didn't work. But it runs fine now. Thanks. As far as MW4 goes..I haven't tried it yet..But I think I will pick it up. I enjoyed the previous versions.

DragoFire 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Ok I've had heavy gear 2 running before on my system, after removing win98se. But after a major virus attack ahd to reformat C:, now I've reloaded HG2 back on and have tried most of the fixes. But as per Quote: DosFreak's Heavy Gear 2 Download the Windows 2000 Application Compatibility toolkit from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/compatibility/ Use QfixApp on Heavy Gear 2.exe and click "Win95VersionLie.dll" Click the "Advanced" tab. Then click "Create attributes file". Then go to the AppPatch folder in the Windows folder and click on Heavy Gear 2.reg Now all you have to do is run the game like normal from the Shortcut! Reinstall this .reg if you reinstall windows! I've got no reg file to use. I don't know if it's because I'm using "Application Compatibility toolkit v3" or not. Can someone help.
