Hi

I have read through the other topics and i still can not solve why its not working!  I have installed it on my computer which is a 1.2Ghz, 512 DDR Ram, with a sis740 chipset on the motherboard which all the drivers are upto date and i still hae no luck.  Keeps coming up with CASINO HAS INCURRED AND ERROR, debug or close, it does'nt do anything when i press debug and closes when i press close. 

One time when i installed it, it came up with Safedisc, then a message saying "please insert CD Rom" I have it in there but it won't see it.  I have 1 CDRW and a CD player installed, it won't work in both.

Can any one please help.

Hi

I am still having problems running it as well on my laptop, even though I have all the uptodate drivers and don't expereience problems with other games.  Let me know if you solve the problem!  I just made another post about this.

hi ya,

Its very strange for a game to do this, why on earth really does it need all uptodate drivers to get it to work, its stupid, i have even tried the patch, still a no go. If this happenes to alot to other people this company will go bust.  Cos i am thinking of taken mine back and getting my money back, its so frustrating, u have all the requirements to run the game and more and it does'nt want to know cos u might have an out of date driver or something else.  Why Should we pay £35 for a game not to work!!!!!. I'll give it a few more days till i'll take it back.

I have a laptop and everything is updated to the graphics and everything else and still no joy.

Hi - can I just add to this topic that I have had NO problem getting the game to run on my desktop.  Laptops aren't really designed to run games and so it is more likely that you get technical troubles running a game.  The speed of response on this forum support wise is very good and Ropes is doing all he can to get the game running for us.

I run other games on the laptop without a problem, the only other game that wouldn't run was Beach Life, it crashed after you played it for about 5 seconds with the mouse freexing up first.  I never did reslove that, but have played more recent games than that one on my laptop.

Hi ya Ropes And Ichor,

First of all i apologise for being stressed, i had been up around 21 hours with very little sleep, i so sorry. You guys are doing a exellent job, it was me being tired and stressed out.  I looked in my D3DEdum and it was blank, is that normal? 

From the BIOS i have installed my chipset to 128MB and it is using DDR ram.

Heres some info on my system:

I am very grateful for your help and support, i am ever so sorry again, i was'nt getting at you.

Oh ya,

How i got the latest drivers was thorough microsoft updates saying drivers and the one on the sis page is quite old, so i gather that i have the latest drivers.  And my Ram Amount is 512mb DDR ram.  I have intergated sound card is well if that helps, i brought the motherboard off ebay, i have not brought an all in one motherbaord before, so its a first time for everything. 

Thank you again.
