See screenshot.
I see the Splash screen and then the app returns to desktop with that error.

Also, as per the readme, it says that setting the color to 16 bit and above should rectify this problem. But, no use, i tried resolution change…640x480,800x600(current) and 1024x768 with all possible refresh rates on my monitor and all possible color combos.

No use, same error each time.
Anyone here who can help with the same, thanks.

Incorrect Installation. Try re-installing it…

Hi Aces…reinstalled it 2 times now…without any installation failure message.
And one fresh installation with complete uninstallation also.

Try running it in Windows95/98 compatible mode..

XTerminator · April 21, 2005, 9:11am

I dont think Windows 2k has a windows 9/98 compatible mode.

Any other suggestions?

You do have it in Win2k Pro. There is a file slayerui.dll in C:\Winnt\AppPatch folder. Just run regsvr32 slayerui.dll to register it and then you will find the compatibility tab on your shortcuts.

Anyways, it didnt work. It still gives the same error.
