Hi,
Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having. This game is fairly old, not that it is bad, just a problem. Older games tend not to run or require a lot of adjustment to run on newer operating systems.
Here are the general system requirements,
System Requirements:
Win9x/NT4
P133
230MB HD Space
32MB RAM
4X CD-ROM
Sound Card
Keyboard
Mouse
If you are running a newer operating system like XP or Windows 7 then you will want to run the game in compatibility mode. To do this right click on the .EXE file or shortcut for example and choose properties. In the properties window choose the compatibility tab. Under this tab check "run this program in compatibility" and then you can choose and older operating system.
Also make sure the "run program as administrator" is checked.
Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date as well as motherboard drivers.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,

Another point, when using cracks to run game, make sure you install the crack properly. usually the crack will come with instructions in a text file. Double check you installed this properly.
Where did you download the game from? I have no way of knowing where the txt file is. There isn't a properties folder. When you install a game, there is usually a .EXE file that is used to run the game and usually a shortcut of the game is created on the desktop. You need to right click either of these, and then choose the properties option. You will get a properties window and from there can make the game run in compatbility for XP. I have not read anything regarding a patch for Vista, just xp. When you download games off the internet, it should come with instructions inside, or on the website. Normally, you would extract the RAR file to a folder then go from there, but this process depends on how they game was packaged(rar,zip, ISO etc). Then after installation you would run the crack, or place the crack files in the installation directory so the game runs without a CD and or bypassing activation. If you can show me where you got the game I can probably be more specific in directions.
where did you get the crack?
Hi, I downloaded the game. If you look in the RAR folder you will see a file named -=PeaLiK=-.NFO - this is the text file that has instructions. Please read this file as it goes over what you have to do to run the game. Let me know if you get it up and running.

the NFO opens via wordpad or notepad but anyways, glad it is working. I have never used game ranger so I couldn't say for sure. make sure you don't need to open any special ports on your router, if you are using one. i couldn't say which ports, usually that is game dependent but you might find something through game ranger site.

ok thanx but there doesnt seem to be a properties folder is it because it is a winrar file? I have read on the internet that other people have the same problem for vista 32-bit and that there is a patch is that true and if so do you now where to find it?
About the crack i just double clicked on crack.exe and it started extracting til it got to 100%. I dont know if that is correct because i have never done this before, what name would the text file usually be under?
Also i forgot to mention there is a patch that came with it for xp but i guess this wont work right?
