Hi Rano,

That is a very old game.. dating back to the Windows 95 era.
Try installing and playing that using 95/98 Compatibility mode.

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.

Of course, let's not forget to check for any patches or updates for that game.
A good place to find them is: www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a

If you'd like to learn more information about compatibility mode, you can click the
link in the Compatibility tab that reads "Learn more about program compatibility",
or watch this Application Compatibility Power Point Presentation:

Hi Rano

I’m experiencing the same problem with the Matt Hayes fishing game -
tried the compability suggestion but didn’t work for me.

Did you manage to find a solution to this and if so would very much
appreciate knowing what it is.

Many thanks

Karen

Hi all,

Same problem here, the game worked ish on my old pc but kept crashing,
on my new comp it won’t load at all, get the same error as above.
Thanks to Jimmy S for a possible solution but it doesn’t work I’m
affraid, the tech support people aren’t much help either, if it’s not
sorted by updating your graphics drivers then they seem to be stumped.

Somebody please help lol.
