Howdy. I'm trying to run a game called conquest earth on
my newer computer. It has windows XP, and i get the
following Error message when i try to run the game:


Application Error: C:\DDI\CONQUEST\wshell.exe

An priviledged instruction was executed at address
00536e36
Click on OK to terminate the application

(the 'an' in the message is not a type-error. It comes
up that way on my computer)
The funny thing is, on older computer w/ windows 95, i
have no problems running this game, except the speed is
incredibly slow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Hi Ryan,

Try using compatibility mode with Conquest Earth to see if that helps..

To install a program using Windows XP's Compatibility Mode, hold
down SHIFT as you insert the game CD, use My Computer to browse
to the setup program, and then skip down to step 1 in the list below:

To run an installed program using Windows XP's Compatibility Mode,
first right click the program and "Send To..." / Desktop (create shortcut).

1.. Right click on the shortcut to the program.
2.. Click on Properties.
3.. Click on the Compatibility tab.
4.. Click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select one of these:
a.. Windows 95
b.. Windows 98
c.. Windows NT 4
d.. Windows 2000
5.. Under Display settings, check mark the mode that you think that is best:
a.. Run in 256 colors.
b.. Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution.
c.. Disable visual themes.

Click on Apply.Click on Ok.Double click on the program.
