Go up one level in this thread
Thanks to everyone who replied. I have now installed Fritz6 multiple times
following all the instructions that I have so far received. I also followed Mr.
Lopez's instructions. I must say that I was able find all the secret ways to
copy relevant files and databases to the Hard Drive.
BUT I STILL HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM:
After installation and reboot the program starts fine. I am able to copy all
the files to the hard drive etc. I am also able to play a game. However, After
I close the program and relaunch it for the second time, I get a Windows
message:
Fritz6.exe has generated errors. Windows will close the program. An error
log is being generated.
I can neither find the error log, nor able to launch it successfully again.
Since the remove program does not seem to recognize the Fritz installation, I
manually remove all the files. I reinstall it and it works fine for the first
launch, but then run into the same error message. It does not matter if there
is a CD in the drive or not.
System: PII/350 with 128mb RAM, Windows 2000/NT Beta 3 (It is near release
version). Hard drive is C: Zip is D: and DVDrom drive is named E:
ANY NEW IDEAS SUGGESTIONS WILL BE WELCOME.
