Any fans of the Axis and Allies video game?

[JVS]

Anyone know how I can get it to run on my new computer?

1. Is it possible to get a trial download?

2. It's an old game, you could probably find it cheap

3. I've got Iron Blitz expansion game, works fine.

I bought the new version but I can't get it going either. If you figure it out tell me.

4. Thats very general of you

A bit like asking "My cars broke. Anyone guess whats wrong with it?"

Do you have a new OS? Different video card?

:shrug:

6. It just breaks down and stops running and MS asks if I'd like to notify

It's not like I'm going to copy the several hundred page freaking error code info by hand (because you can't highlight copy and past those) for people at DU. I'm asking if anyone thinks they could help. If they can, I'll tell them what it says. If not, I'd thank them not to clutter up my thread with stupid observations.

7. I'm not trying to clutter up your thread with stupid observations.

I was simply wondering what is different about your new PC. IE was your old card NVidia and is your new one ATI, or perhaps you were running 2000 and now its XP, so you need to set compatibility mode appropriatly or some such.

If the game starts, but crashes at some point while starting up I think your best bet would be to update your video card drivers. The ones installed on a new system are always woefully out of date.

I doubt anyone here on DU wants to see your error stack! :P
