Please help.

Hello. I've got Windows XP. I'm not good with computers.

 

Many games I'm trying to play won't work. They won't even install. When I try to install them my computer always gives me the same error message, something about a DLL, I don't know what it means, even less how to describe it english. The games I've got this problem are Jagged Alliance 2, King's quest 6 and Fallout 2 patch, for examples.

 

I would highly appreciate any help.

 

Thank you in advance if anyone bothers to give me advice, so I could play my favourite games again.

From your username, I assume that you are Russian?

Can you just to post the error message here, perhaps someone here can translate/quess the DLL file in question.

Actually, no. Hyvä arvaus kuitenkin.

 

Eli tällainen viesti tulee:

 

16-bittinen Windows-alijärjestelmä

 

C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\S32EVNT.1.DLL. Asennettavan näennäisohjaimen virhe DLL-kirjaston alustuksessa. Sulje sovellus valitsemalla 'Sulje'.

Sinulla on ollut asennettuna Norton Antivirus? Tai on.

 

Kaksi mahdollisuutta:

1) kopioi 'autoexec.nt' ja 'config.nt' tiedostot 'c:\windows\repair' kansiosta 'c:\windows\system32' kansioon.

 

Jos ei auta, niin:

 

2) Korjaus ala Microsoft (soveltaen).

Vaatii rekisterin muokkausta, joten ota siitä varmuuskopio ensin.

 

Käynnistä->Suorita: regedit

 

Sitten menet tuohon polkuun:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers"

Kaksoisklikkaa vasemmalta:

"VDD", tyhjennä lootan sisältö.

OK.Sammuta rekisterieditori.

 

Kuvan kanssa:

(minulla on asennettuna Avast!, joten älä välitä siitä... )

 

Kokeiles noita

C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\S32EVNT.1.DLL

 

Hmmm, just something to try. Can you turnoff whatever norton product you have and try again?

 

Okay, I delved a little deeper into this problem. I believe this is cleansweep related. No matter, the supposed way to fix this is one of three ways.

 

Whenever you want to install a program, disable norton.

Uninstall Norton cleansweep.

 

Or

(Backup registry)

Delete the Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\VDD

Now, recreate the key that you deleted as REG_MULTI_SZ. Putting nothing in it.

Also, I realized after I posted, that they probably could not read what I typed in.

Probably... then again, we Finns usually have good knowledge about English language.

Yes it is no problem for me to understand english, but it gets complicated when you have to translate messages that windows gives in finnish to english, as the words are not really common. It works the other way though, it's english to finnish translation of windows messages are pretty obvious. But then again, as I stated, my knowledge of computer systems are close to nothing, so it's always nice to get help in finnish, eli suurkiitokset W.

 

But thank you all for your help, I will try the methods you guys recommended.

Your regedit screen reminded me of the two different times working on a Japanese laptop and a Korean laptop.
