Hi Gisella

You might try placing the game in compatibility mode to see if it wil
run in it. This will show you how

6. Can't Install Game 

I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I've been trying to install a new game 
(Command and Conquer - The First Decade) on my computer using a PCDVD disk. 
When I place the disk in a DVD drive (I have 2) and Autorun kicks in, I get 
an error message: I:/Not a valid Win32 Application. I've tried it in both DVD 
drives..same result.  I returned the disk to the store and got a new one, 
still didn't work. I've tried it on another computer (Not mine) and it comes 
up. So I know its not the disk itself. Per the user manual I've closed all 
open porgrams and all unnecessary background tasks (By using Task Manager), 
including virus scanners. I've read some of the other posts on here with the 
same error message, but none of those suggestions have worked out for me.  
Please help.

7. Can't download install files...

8. Can't Install the download! 

I was told to come here if I have any more problems ..here is my original post:
[Most PC Games at Zone.com won't load up, can't see to get by a Security  
Warning asking to Install and Run an Essential MSN Game File, if I accept to 
install it ... it says its unable to download the game.   I have my cookies 
deleted and allowed to accept cookies, all my Temporary Internet Files have 
been deleted, my recycled box is empty, my Virus scan was clear yesterday all 
my Window Updates are up to date. 

It also says to click to Install the ActiveX control and nothing shows up to 
click on.

As far as I know the ActiveX on my computer is up to date.( I have no clue 
how to find that out).

When clicking on the download I now get " Cannot prepare for resuming"

Anyone have a clue, what the problem is.?
