Runtime error

Hi
I got this Red Baron game from a pizza box.
When I try to play it I can't see any graphics and I get a "runtime error" message.
Can someone tell me what a runtime error is and what I might do to fix the problem.
Thanks
Geri

 

What is the rest of the runtime error message?
Which version of windows, and which version of DirectX do you have installed?
For a definition of a runtime error, click here and here. As you can see, it may not be your computer at all.

 

Hi Markp62
Here is the message...

"Program...mfiles\Activision\RedBaron Ace of the sky\rb.exe "
Abnormal program Termination.

I guess I should not expect much....It came in a box of frozen pizza

Ps. I have windows XP Home SP2 with Direct X 9

 

Either the disk has something on it, like tomato sauce lol, or some condensation formed on it, creating a bad copy of it.
But your OS and DirectX seems good for it, unless it was created before XP was in existence and works better on 98. XP has the option to run a program like 98, under Properties on the shortcut for it.
