Have you installed SP2 already? If not, do it! Also, make sure you have current video drivers. If all that doesn't work, a V2 noCD patch should work(I got my original game to work a grand total of 4 times, no more.. )

well i tryed all that, still no luck, i even tryed the win2k compatibilty program, it says will not work on win32's when i try to run carmageddon 2,i have the sp2 patch, i cant find this "v2" patch ive been told to get. v2? is that the file name,like v2.exe? i am really screwed here, i know there are people out there that have win2k and carmageddon 2 installed on there systems that run it fine, i just need to know what they did, i even tried copying the cd to my drive and installing , but it didnt work..i went to microsoft.com and downloaded an application compatibility upgrade(appupd.exe),it says "not a valid win32 archive"....this really sucks a big fat dick,without c2 i have almost no reason to use my cpu, i am addicted to that game majorly , this is like taking a crack addict and taking his stash, tying him up, and throwing him into a locked room.....im going absolutely crazy over this!!!!

Roach : i am one of those people that carma2 runs perfectly in win2k, i never had any problem of running carma2 in win2k, and i never installed any SP for win2k !

Maybe your problem is the your graphic card's drivers, my carma2 works, and my graphics card is the 16mb pci banshee, and there are NO drivers for my card for win2k, so i used the drivers that come with win2k and there are no problems. Could you please tell to us the EXACT error or problem ? You just say that c2 doesn't run, but how ? It crash to desktop ? It gives a message error ? And which graphic card do you have ?

But i am happy because you said that "without c2 i have almost no reason to use my cpu" i really like you said that !

bye

So far you're having the same prob I had, you can forget the application compatibility stuff: it's no use. I don't remember why the game ran a few times(there's some weird stuff in w2k's behavior....), but the thing you need is a noCD patched C2 .exe

the error i get when i try to run c2 from the desktop is " sorry , not supported on nt"the win32 message i get when i try to run it through the nt compatibility program , i select the option for win 98 in it,or win 95 but i get the error both times.

Im running a GeForce 2mx 64mb , i got the game to play once after i installed it, but my win 98 drivers for the card were corrupt and it crashed out all the time, so i put my ATI 128 back in , my cpu fried the card(I fried the card accidently),so i was basically screwed, i put the geforce back in , but couldnt do much cause of the crashing ,so i upgraded to win2k, i didnt format or anything though , got the win2k drivers for my card, all runs good exept for carmageddon 2,really sux, the only program on my CPU i give a shit about, has to be the only one that doesnt run.

"But i am happy because you said that without c2 i have almost no reason to use my cpu i really like you said that !

bye "

?I dont understand the context of that line, is it like "Good , dont use it so i dont have to see your stupid post's" or is it "True, without carmageddon 2 , i have almost no reason to use it also" ????

to -[ Raven-X ]- : in case you didn't recognize me, yes, i am really "cesm", i simply changed my name where in cwaboard. And i am surprised with the things you talked about me, like "whats are you? A Wannabe Cesm?..." why the hell did you say that ?! Just because of my english being better this time ? What proof do you want that i really am cesm ? (i am not "fighting" you!) I simply improved a little my english, as i write more, don't forget about my location and native language !!

to roach : you didn't understand me, you have interpreted me wrong, that is natural, because i can't "construct" english sentences very well and my native language is not english. what i mean by saying "But i am happy because you said that without c2 i have almost no reason to use my cpu i really like you said that ! bye" is that by your words on that post (the third post that you made in this topic) i THINK you like very much to use your computer to play c2. If it is not that you mean, so what do you mean when you said "this really sucks a big fat dick,without c2 i have almost no reason to use my cpu, i am addicted to that game majorly" ?!?!?!?! (please don't be angry with me, i am not "fighting" with you).

And NO, i NEVER said directly or indirectly that "your posts are stupid" where you getted that ideia ?! Anyway i am glad you have resolved your problem, and the next time, READ CAREFULLY what i say to interpret that correctly !! bye!
