Hey guys. I'm experiencing an error while attempting to install Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. Just as the installation starts, this error pops up: "An error (-5003 : 0x5) has occurred while running the setup. Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. If the error still occurs, please contact your vendor: Novalogic http://www.NovaLogic.com)." I have exited out of my VirusScan and any other unnecessary programs listed through Task Manager, and the error still pops up. I do not have any previous setups running, either. This game used to install fine the last time I installed it. The CD does not appear to be scratched, smudged, or damaged in any way. I've even tried copying the entire CD to my hard drive and installing it from there, but that didn't work either. A few facts: 1. This is the first time I've attempted to install this game on this computer. 2. I just tried installing on the slightly older computer I had, in which it runs normally. 3. The older computer also has Windows XP Home Edition SP2. 4. I do have the latest version of DirectX. 5. The error still pops up when running the CD on both CD drives on this computer. 6. Brand new computer..purchased shortly before Christmas of '04. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chris

The error could be due to faulty RAM modules. Presuming that you have more than one memory module, remove one at a time and try it again with each module on its own until you isolate the faulty module (process of elimination). Depending upon what ram you have: Generally, unbranded RAM is cheaper because it doesn't undergo the same stringent quality testing as branded RAM and doesn't usually offer a lifetime warranty, therefore errors will sometimes crop up.
