HELP!

My dad is pissed, over a VIDEO GAME

Friday, March 18, 2005 by KeithMacDonald | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have a big problem. My dad like to play a game called Age of Mythology, but recently he tried to play it but it keeps saying "Initializiation Failed" after all the cinematics. It has only worked after a reinstall of AoM, and if it isn't working for him TODAY, I'm screwed, 'cause he won't let me get/use my software, like CorelDRAW and Photoshop. So anyways, after I reinstall it, it works fine ONCE, then when I reboot the computer it does it again. We've tried to use the Titans Expantion Pack, update it, everything, but it won't work. HELP ME SO I DON'T HAVE TO LOSE EVERYTHING I HOLD RECIOUS TO ME!! (Ok, ok, ok I'm known to exaggerate, but I will lose my rights & stuff on the comp, eg I have to always ask my dad before I can install anything, if he says yes it will be few and far between, so it will take forever to get all my OD stuff installed, and Photoshop, AND CorelDRAW, and and and...)(I'm also sure it's not my software causing the problem...)(Btw, AoM is the only software on my comp not working properly, other than a fail in Winamp once, about the same time my dad found he couldn't use AoM)(Currently, AoM is uninstalled)


HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Because it likes to load on startup even if you remove it from the startup menu. I use Trillian though but don't have the MSN account on it. I just never used it as long as I had my account .

Sorry I didn't respond to your IM, I've been away from my computer alot lately and doing alot of stuff.

Glad that you narrowed it down to one thing. I just can't see how the program would be doing that. But I usually kill alot of my programs when I play my games. SysMextrix, Messengers, PeerGaurdian, Anti-Virus, sometimes WB. I do keep my firewall up unless it interfers with my connection to the game server. I like a nice clean game play.
