Gaming Problems w/ XP Saturday, November 17, 2001 at 3:14 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Andrew (1 messages posted) I have many problems playing games or just installing them. After I installed Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and ran the program I got error messages saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application." I've ran it many times on 98se/ME. Could it be possible that this game doesn't run on XP? Also in XP I tried to install The Sims. This time it wouldnt even let me install it. It came up with an error saying "(3.20) C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for the Sims.zip\sim install\Install.exe: DIspatcher initialisation error 11" I've ran this on other comps with 98se/ME also and it runs fine. I downloaded this game off of a website, so maybe XP wont let me install this type of game. Any suggestions?
