Hi Guys. I have an issue with an old pc game Mayday: Conflict Earth for win 95/98 os. I installed it successfully on my pc. But after I try to run it an error occurs "integer divide by 0". But the mupltiplayer mode is working fine. As far as I understand only single player mode triggers this error.

It's a d505 (year 2003 a new record here for RELIC MAX)
wow. 12years old 2015 asked.
THE HDD MAY BE BAD WE TEST THAT FIRST
AND ALL BATTERIES MUST BE GOOD TOO.
We run the HDD SMART TEst.
if smart fails no OS on earth runs on any bad HDD
and most are dead/failed at 5 years old on laptops.

sorry you did not run that PC for 12 years and failed just now
no you did not
you bought a dead old useless PC.
there is no real cure as any modern safe OS fails on it.
buy PC with i3 CPU or up, and win.
end 2003 junk now.

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the game?

Sometimes , when a Computer's OS is upgraded, form the original OS, you will find "Unknown Devices" in Device Manager. "Coprocessor" is common. Usually it's the Card Reader, try installing the driver for the Card Reader, Windows 7 32 or 64bit what ever OS Windows 8 is. You can find the drivers here, choose your OS 32 or 64bit, try Driver-Storage, Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader, you must change compatibility of the Win 7 driver: Card Reader driver: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3927357 Change driver compatibility: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6832-compatibility-mode-use-windows-8-a.html

I got drivers for you. The first link is for win vista32 and vista64 drivers.
2nd link is for XP32, win 2000, win 95,98, NT and all other pre vista versions.
If you need drivers for other OS, PM me.

Hi,

Check first the system requirements of the game. Check which compatible OS is compatible with your game. If you are using a 64bit version of your OS, try using it on a 32 bit.

Works in my Gateway Netbook running a Win 7 Starter OS, Won't even install on my Dell N5010 running a Win 7 Home premium OS. BUT IT does work in Safe mode on the Dell laptop. Tried compatibility mode. Have no Idea why it won't install.

Hey 1323164 you were right. I was having this same problem trying to run this game on Windows 10 but what ended up fixing it was opening up the folder on the disk, running the setup file in compatibility mode for Win XP (service pack 3), and running it in administrator mode. Then in the setup I ran custom install, and selected the Direct X install and selected "will not be available for program". Basically it would not be installed with the program. Then I pressed next and it installed and runs great! :D Thank you so much for that hint!

well it wont hurt anything to install it and try they changed everything around with vista somewhat of an unstable OS , are you sure your graphics card will go low enough to run the game?

The reason is, it only happens when you try to install Halo 2 on Windows XP.

The Game gets installed perfectly on Windows Vista

Because, I have installed and played the game on Windows Vista. But, when I de-graded my OS to Windows XP and tried to install the game. It gave me the same error message.

So, if your OS is Win XP then try install on Win Vista if you have it or on your friends PC.

But if you are already on Win Vista then please do let me know.

Also could please let me know whether your trying to Auto install the game or you are manually trying to install the game by clicking Step.exe?


I would be glad to find some help for you in this regard.

Hi
Check your laptop CPU fan is running if no replace it. Problem is because of over heating....
Thanks
