ok,i've 2 games that are'nt wanting to start anymore,keep getting errors. 1.Rollercoaster tycoon 3 - says "runtime error!crogram files/atari/rct3.exe" - R6025 virtual function call I've had this game for awhile and never had any problems til my wife went to play yesterday and got the error.So I reinstalled it...still the same,then started to try other programs & came across madden 06 and now that 1 dont want to start either.I get this: microsoft c++ error madden.exe has encountered an error an needs to close(or something along those lines. Both games have always worked fine until now.I've searched & searched and cannot seem to find any solution,i've read suggestions in other forums & articles and none of them seem to work.This is getting VERY frusterating,my system is very capable of running these games,i've updated my drivers and all that...so ANY suggestions on this anyone? thx in advance. btw,sry if this should've been posted in windows games section but i assume it must be a system problem.
It could be a spyware or virus problem, if they still don't work after a re-install. You haven't by any chance installed something that affects windows recently have you? Try some anti-spyware or anti-virus program. Or try system restore if you have any restore points to go back to. -Mike
thx mik3h for the reply,i'll run all my spyware & virus programs and post back later.I've installed ALOT of programs since those 2 games have been used last(not really a gamer).but i did read in an article somewhere that office pro 2003 conflicts with some stuff like that but it wasnt DIRECTLY saying games a such.Anyway i uninstalled that an tried it again and still the same errors. My virus,spyware,and ect. programs are... Norton 2005-pc bug doctor-microsoft Antispyware-tune up utilities 2006-Pest Patrol 5.0 Again mik3h thx,ill post later after i run these programs.
well i got rollercoaster tycoon to work now but not madden.I've ran all checks and no spyware/viruses were found,i've tried to contact EA about it but.....(ifanyone has ever tried to contact them then you know what type of answers i got,useless).Anyways if anyone has any ideas and/or suggestions on this please post,i'd hate to think i spent $40 on something i cant use. thx.
Well i FINALLy got everything worked out.I got to apologize to EA for my reply in this post.They emailed me and someone actually took the time to ask about the programs i had installed in my CPU & i told them.Come to find out it was ROXIO 8's "disk image loader" was causing the madden disk to recognize a virtual drive(even tho i never even used it) therefore crashing.Just thought i'd post this in case anyone else has this problem.
Ah yeah, some games may refuse to load if they detect emulation software in the background..sorry about that! -Mike
