Help needed, game won't load

[Ty]

Hey.

I'm running WinXP Pro and am having trouble running a game. The game itself
has installed properly but when I click on the game icon on the desktop to
launch it the 'hour glass' spins a little as if it's starting up then
just.... nothing. It doesn't start. The game is Alien Vs Predator Gold
Edition and is XP compatible. Any reason why this should be happening? I've
recently ran Home World and that works perfectly. Any ideas would be great,
thanks!

Hi Ty,

Perhaps the folks who frequent the games newsgroup could better assist you,
if you would like to pose your question to them:
microsoft.public.windowsxp.games

Sorry, I didn't previously notice that you were using the web-based
interface. Try this link:
