Yesterday I was at Debenhams and I got 3 games for £10 and not one of them works! I have installed them but when I go on them they wait for about 3 seconds and then it says it has encountered a problem! The game suggests that if this happens change the compatibility mode! I have already tried uninstalling it! Switching the compatibilty modes making it 256 colours, Making the screen lager and smaller and even getting rid of advanced text but nothing is working!! Can you help me? If it helps the games were Zoo Tycoon, Theme park world and journey to the centre of the earth for PC!

If you can PM me a solution as I need to know as fast as possible! If someone helps me do it I will make them a signature!

Only pirated games are supposed to have cracks, if he really bought it, then it's probably original. :P

Did you check your PC's compatibility stuff? Are you pretty sure your Video Card is good enough to play those games? I think Zoo Tycoon requires about 256 MB or something.

Just sayin'...
PCs are lousy computers anywho. Macs are where it's at.
Secondly, you need to check out the requirements. What computer do you use? And are the games new or old? Judging by that, maybe you can tell us that and we can help you a little more.

Hmm... I don't think it will work for you... just a guess, but I remember a game I had for my computer a LONG time ago, it was Frogger (Yeah, really old), and even though it said it would work, and even though the disc was in good condition, the game never worked for me.
So... I suggest that you maybe take it to be cleaned at a GameStop, Game Exchange, or Game Crave (I think Game Crave is still open... I'm not sure though, and they might not have one wherever you live).
That's about all I can tell you. (And think of to tell you.)
