i put up a post a few moments ago, and thought my problem was solved, only to
find another one. one of the games i installed was 'where in the world is
carmen sandiego?' i was a little way through the game when an error message
came up telling me it could not create music swap file, i have no idea what
this means, help!
thank you, beautyqueen xxx
 
Hi beautyqueen,

You need to do one of two things to avoid the error:
"Cannot create music swap file" when launching:
Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego?®

1. Grant the users Modify access to your account to prevent this message.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Riverdeep\

2. Use an administrator account to install and play games.

i use an administrator account. I tried the other method but it said it
couldn't find the file.
 
Hi beautyqueen,

Right click on the folder that the game is installed to, and make sure
that you have all rights to that folder, and that it's not set to read only.
- Apply to subfolders and files when prompted to do so..
