    Fatal error when trying to install game.
    « on: August 06, 2009, 05:46:13 PM »
    I bought Axis & Allies a while back and when I first got it, it worked great on my computer. Sinse then I have uninstalled it. Recently I installed it but when I tried to open the game, I recieved this error message:

    "An error has occurred:
    thread MAIN caught unhandled exception- Microsoft C++ Exception (EO6D7363)
    trapped at 1B:7C812AFB- File: Data.rwd Chunk: Footer Offset: 1549756- reading past end of chunk (actual)

    To aid the development team in fixing bugs, please submit log file (Logs\log-3.log) and minidump file (Logs\log-3.dmp)"

    My OP is Windows XP I easily have all the system requirements but I just can't seem to work my way around this.

    I have searched for all sorts of advice but nothing has helped I would really appreciate some successful advice...thanks.

      Remove the game completely, make sure your windows updates are current and then reinstall the game.


      Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

        I tried that and it didn't work.

          Go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

          sfc /scannow

          Have your xp disk handy in case you are asked for it. Note the space between sfc and the /

          Read up on SFC ...... so you know what's going on.....
