I can't get AvP GE working. I got WinXP Home Edition. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me?

This is my cpu:

 

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (2.08GHz)

GeForce 4 MX400 128Mb

WinXP Home Edition

I think he means Aliens Vs Predator 'Gold Edition'.

 

I can't check for patches etc as I am at work.

 

Gamesites = filtered

 

EDIT: A bit more information regarding the problem wouldn't go amiss. What errors are you receiving? etc

Searching the actual site you are asking a question on would be a good start.

Ok sorry. I'm a little new with this. But I don't get any errors. It just wont start. I've installed it and when I tried to start it nothing happened. I checked taskmanager if the game.exe was started and it was. But nothing happens

It drives me mad! A friend of mine told me to change in Options to compatible Win95 but that didn't work either.

 

And I also excuse if my english is a little bit bad. I haven't spoken english for a while.

I have the same problem on Win XP PRO SP2

 

avp.exe comes up as a process on taskmanager but won't run. Is there a patch available?

Game has always worked fine for me in Windows 98/2000/XP/2003.

 

There are patches for the game. Check Patches Scrolls but I've never found them necessary to play the game.

to fix this you must change the exe file AVP.EXE to AVP#.EXE

 

#=any letter or number thats allowed in a file name
