Hello,
 I just got a new laptop with the Win 8.1 64 bit system installed ...no choice unfortunately. I would have preferred my Win 7 64 bit O/S.I downloaded
 Close Combat (V) Invasion Normandy and got an error message when I tried to install. I tried admin privileges  and changing compatibility without
 success. I have all the Close Combat series and mods except CCII. I am really worried that all these games will not play. Can you help? Any
 suggestions? Bottom line the question is? Can CC games play on Win8.1 64 bit?

Mooxe,

I am sorry.The complete error message with X ciircled in red stated " The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close
application."
I went online to get HP tech help.Absolutely hopeless!.They say that there is an error with the download and that it is a program error not a computer
one.

It could certainly be a compatibility issue with Win 8.1 64bit. The error message really sheds no light for me. I can really only suggest trying to run it in compatibility modes.

Right click the setup.exe and an option for that should pop up.

Let's say that i don't really know your OS but if what suggested above won't work, a general, but usefull, solution could be to set a virtual machine, with an older OS, on which you can try to install and launch your not working old apps Wink

Hi Mooxe, Caruso and Fellow CC Players,

Went to another Future Shop and met a young techie employee who really knew what he was talking about. He suggested how to get CC games to run (as well as most other games) and secondly to make Win8 more friendly.

First off do not install Win8.1,or if you already have , get rid of Win8.1! Re install Win8.0 from an ISO image you made.You either either put it on a CD or Memory Stick 32 (Ghz minimum) when you first got your Win8.0 for your new computer. Or use your original Win8 discs if you have them (unlikely).The game(s)install and run perfectly.

To make Win8 more user friendly and familiar (like Win7 or Win Classic) download from the internet and install "Classic Shell". It's free and can be uninstalled without causing problems to your Win 8 system.

Hope this information proves helpful.

Thank you for your assistance.
