Need for Speed: High Stakes & Worms Armageddon
I am currently trying to get Need for Speed High Stakes Setup to run in Windows 2000 and I may have figured it out. *sigh* Here goes:
On a freshly installed Windows 2000 SP1 with NO other updates installed HS setup complains with a "You must have 95/98". Using the Application Compatibility Toolkit (Not appcompat.exe but the full toolkit) I FINALLY got it to work. So I come into work today and pop it into my work computer.... WTF IT LOADS ARRRRRRRGGHHH!! I haven't put the fix on there HTF can it load???!!! So I try it on another computer which hasn't been updated and I get the same error I got at home. I then install all of the latest application compatibility updated from Microsoft and it still doesn't work. (I know I know it doesn't mention HS in them but might as well try).
*UPDATE*
I FOUND IT! WOOHOO! It was in the application compatibility Toolkit all along! and Microsoft hasn't released it in their latest update but it is in the Application compatibility toolkit. GO HERE AND DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/compatibility/act.exe
Do a search of Apcompat.inf that troublesome game that might be fixed. I'm currently working on a .txt of what's been fixed. Will take awhile though because it's BIG.
Sloppy work. Putting it in their Application Compatibility Toolkit but leaving it out of their update. What a mess. I should be running things over there.
Wanna know how I know that they could have put it in their update long ago? Check the date of apcompat.inf in the C:\ACT\Progra~1 directory. Look in the appfix.exe file. apcompat.inf is dated 5/24/200. Good work Microsoft. Who knows how long they have had it before that.
Hey Bill Gates. E-mail me. Fire some people and hire me I'll set your company straight.

How did you get Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun to work, DosFreak? I can't. I have the appcompat file but no fix for this game in it. I would like to play it someday soon on my 2k machine.

I went on google and searched for "yoda stories" "0xc0000005" this site was the only one that came up. I love this game, it has kept me occupied for hours before when I was little. This site HAS TO BE the solution. I was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix the application error "failed to initialize properly (0Xc0000005)." I am not experienced in computers, so I was wondering if you could give me step by step instructions on how to fix this. I will resort to editing .dat files and hacking if I need to, just tell me how to do it. 8) ;( ;( :x I AM DESPERATE! :x ;( ;( 8) Oh yeah, I'm running Windows XP, if that helps.

Help me, please...
I want to install NFSHS under WIN2000, but I had a error message: "Runs only under 95 or 98". So I tried to solve this problem using apcompat.exe. But it didn't work. When I run Setup.exe, chosen installation languange, I had a error message like this: The instruction at "0x00406b41" referenced memory at "0xfffffffff". The memory could not be read. It's fatal error and I can't solve it. What should I do?
Sorry for my bad languange....

Hey is there any way to get Betraya at Krondor runing under windows xp SP 2. Vdmsound used to do it for under 2000 and I think xp SP1. But now nothing seems to help I tried the modification Dos Freak advises in this thread but no go sadly.

OP
It probably doesn't have enough memory. I haven't run BAK in straight XP for awhile now, use DosBox for it now but for XP try this:
XP
Edit the AUTOEXEC.NT file in the SYSTEM32 directory and REM the DOSX line.
It should look like this:
REM Install DPMI support
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
Save the file.
Right-click on Krondor.exe and go to the Memory tab. Max out Expanded Memory.
Click on OK to save. Use the .pif or .EXE to play the game!
UnRem the line you REMed when you are done!
The reason I don't run BAK with just XP is because most newer motherboards nowadays, including mine, do not provide the page frames that NT4/2K/XP need to enable EMS (Expanded Memory). Which is why I use DosBox. If the above doesn't work for you then you'll have to use DosBox unless you want to start disabling devices in your just for one game.

Hi there,
I'm trying to play Need for Speed Underground 2 (NSFU2) on a Windows 2003 Server operating system.
Installation goes very well.... running the game starts the intro plash and after that it just stops running.
Windows 2003 Server is not supported, but is there a way to bypass this problem???
Thanx!

Please start a new thread for that problem. This thread has gone off-topic. People who read the topic probably won't click on it to help you with your problem.
