Hey Bach, I'm not totally sure on this, but I
think your problem is that your system is a little too fast for the game to keep up with it. I used to work at a place that used a program called m-link to link up to their stores. Anyway, we loaded this on a new computer and kept getting errors like yours. We finally turned off turbo in the bios and we were able to use the program. I'm pretty sure you don't have a turbo option in your bios, but you could try disabling acceleration and maybe for the video too. You might also want to check with the maker of the game and see if they offer a patch to download for fixing this. To adjust acceleration, go to control panel, system, then click on the performance tab, there you will see file system and graphics options. They may or may not help you, but worth a try
if you really want to get that game working.

Thanks, I gave your suggestion a try but no luck.
I have no Turbo, but I did slow the acceleration.

I noticed I can't install Nascar either. For the same reason.

Trophy bass had a fix! So easy!


Problem
An error message occurs during install
An Integer divide by 0 or similar error occurs when trying to install the game.


Solution
Delete SIERRA.INI and ignore test


This problem is the result of the installation program being unable to detect
certain processors, especially the newer and faster ones. There is a two-step
procedure to resolve the issue. The first step is to delete the SIERRA.INI file.
To do this:

1) Click the Start button, go to Find, and select Files or Folders.
2) In the Find All Files window, type SIERRA.INI in the Named field.
3) Make sure the Look In field is set to the C: drive. If it does not, click the
downward-pointing arrow to the right of the Look In field and select C: from the
drop-down menu.
4) Click the Find Now button. A file marked SIERRA or SIERRA.INI will appear
after a moment in the bottom screen.
5) Click once on the word SIERRA to highlight the file.
6) Go to the File menu and select Delete.
7) When the warning box about sending the file to the Recycle Bin pops up,
click the Yes button.

The next step is to perform a modified version of the installation process.
To do this:

1) Go to the Start button and select Shut Down.
2) Select Restart the Computer and click Yes.
3) When the system has rebooted, go to the Start button and choose Run.
4) In the Open field, type X:\SETUP [for X, substitute the letter of the
CD-ROM drive] and click OK.
5) Click Install on the screen that appears.
6) Click Install on the Sierra installation screen.
7) At the prompt to perform a system test, click No.
8) Ignore the system test results and click Yes to continue.

At this point the installation will proceed normally.

Glad you got it working Bach! At least I was close to the target eh? I knew it had something to do with speed and timing.
