Windows Vista

I have no idea how to do that, Collector.

[Collector]

make a folder on your harddrive and open the CD with Windows Explorer. Drag the contents of the disc to the folder that you made.

[Nephlite]

Well, I did what you suggested Collector, to no effect.

[Collector]

Were you able to copy all without issue?

[Nephlite]

It says: "Some resource files haven't bee copied. Please run the installer from the disc."

[Collector]

And you opened the CD in "My Computer", selected all and dragged and dropped all into a folder on your harddrive?

[Nephlite]

Yes. As far as I can tell, I've done everything properly. Maybe I should do the same with discs 2 and 3?

[Collector]

Copying them was not a fix as much as a test to see if all of the files are readable. If you were not able to copy all of the files on the disc, the disc is damaged. You might try a disc restore kit, but if that doesn't help you may need to replace the discs.

[Nephlite]

Ok, new problem. I got all the files properly copied and the game starts up, but then I get a new message saying "The following resource paths are invalid: ." (period). What does this mean?

[Collector]

Copying them was not a fix as much as a test to see if all of the files are readable.

The game still needs to be installed. If you had some difficulty copying the files, that might be what is giving the installer problems. If you were able to eventually copy the files over, you might try to burn a new disc from them and install from the new CD.

[Nephlite]

It already is installed. I did all this after it was installed.

[Collector]

Uninstall and try making a CD from the copied files, then reinstall from the new CD.

[Nephlite]

I'm still getting the error message.

Maybe your CD is damaged? GK3 runs fine on my Vista 64 machine.

[Nephlite]

Problem solved. I turned off compatibility mode and now it runs fine. As to the original problem of the invalid Win32 problem, I copied the .exe from the CD and pasted it over the one that installed. Thanx, Collector, for all your help. You da man.
