WC3 install, Exception 13 & WinME

[Dak]

Ok, when I try to install or run WC3 on my WinME I can get through the joystick test ok but as soon as I start the graphics test I get good old exception 13

So I can't even get the game bleedin' started! Argh!

I've tried using a bootdisk for DOS on WME but the same thing happens there as well.

The CDs are clean and unscratched and I've tried the installation from all 4 discs, same with each.

Any ideas out there?

Gonna be some entries in the config.sys and autoexec.bat files off that boot disk. Keep scanning the tech support posts, seem to recall someone with similar problem and it was addressed in one of these posts! Good luck!

a different approach

Yeah, I've seen some similar problems, so I'll have a nose around.

But I've also managed to "borrow" my old PC off my sister, so I'm going to try running it off that as it's a lot more WC friendly (ie it DOESN'T run WinME).

Thanks anyway

Yep, the old machine runs the game perfect

Now all I've got to do is find somewhere to put the thing where I can play it...
