i have tried to iniciate that game, but i didn't... what happened with this download link anyway? i've downloaded it a lot of times but every time it gives me the same answer: that have an error with the disk or the program and can't be started... i think this one is a corrupted file...

* You didn't happen to try running it from inside the archive, did you?
* Did you run the included registry file?
* Did you remember to reboot your computer afterwards?

Please remove the (stupid) option in your dearchiver which automaticaly run the setup program, or which try to run any program automaticaly from the archive when you unzip it.

hey hey,

now i have read approximately 300 posts (that is for 4 years posting)

but still i didn't see my questions and answers came along.

i have currently 2 computers where I have tried to play this game on

however, I failed....

the main com is a Xp Home edition and the secondary a Xp Pro edition.

with the main comp the game starts I hear the muzz play but see nothing,
I already read that I could espect that.. so i did not flinch and presd a button
then... the game continus the muzz but the screen disappears, an error appears what tels me: there is an error in the ttdloadw.ovl.

with the secondary comp.... it dosn't do a thing... i see a flash and that is that

i'am getting rather frustrated

i tried the bat fille thingy already... same resuld.


sorry for my sloppy eng

Thanks for even consider to help me

[_r.u.s.s.]

well, do you have the file ttdloadw.ovl in your transport tycoon directory?

[Eagle of Fire]

Sir Pillas: When you unarchive everything, you will notice that you will have two directories: one in which you have another directory which contain the real game, and some other files (including the RUNME!.reg file which is critical).

What you need to do is unarchive the game where ever you want... But once it is done you need to run the .reg file to add the game to your registery. Once it is done you can't move the game again to another directory or it won't work. This is very important.

Also of note, you need to reboot your computer once before the changes take effect in your registery.

You also need to have the administrator access to the account you are using for those changes to work.

Once it is done, you need to use the patched icon (icon with bandaids), or again the game will not work.

Hope this helps.

no not realy...

quick reply though

i've read almost all of the posts, so i know all of this options they are repeated over and over again, coz people dont read before ask (also dont listen and keep asking for help, quite irritating)

_r.u.s.s. --> yes i have the file ttdloadw.ovl in the right place

thanks

i hope for more assistance

[_r.u.s.s.]

are the write/read file rights of ttdloadw.ovl appropriate for your user account in a specific directory? is the file read only?
(vista doesn't let other non admin user programs to write on other places than their document folder afaik)

[Sir Pillas]

yes coz I don't use vista () and I am the admin...

I...I... don't know what to do.... my TT energie is runnning low.....
