Hi reaper567

You can unpack the file with Win Rar, which may be downloaded here:

http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html

You'll want to create a new file (either on your desktop or another location of your choice) into which all the files will need to be unpacked. The reason is, when you open it, it will ask for a location to send it (much like WinZip files). Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks,

George

Do the files need to a specific name or does there need to be some configuration with the folders?

Please advise.

Thanks!

I believe you need to have them in the test folder and named the same: idle and combat. I'm away from my computer right now but will check later!! Let me know if that fixes it.

Thanks,

Nate

Ok, so I have downloaded the physx system and updated my drivers. The problem is it won't let me install Directx. In download the setup, but then when I use the setup it says intializing... for ten minutes then says it can't be installed try again later or check your network connection (which is fine). I have tried reinstalling it, too. Could someone please help me?

Thanks

Hey reaper,

I had the exact same problem and the newest version of directx was the last link to opening the game. You can find a work-around download outside of Microsoft here:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_directx/

The link is on the top right corner of the page (about 103MB). Once dowloaded, you'll see that same screen that gets 'stuck,' but it should kick in right away.

I hope this helps!

nsmadsen,
I will also submit my entry.

Thanks

I am also planning to submit an entry.

I am having more problems. I got that new directx package installed, then I ran the package and even though I have enough space it gets to October2006 file then turns off with no message. I don't know if it is suppose to do that, but if it is then even though I downloaded and updated everything stated above I am still getting the application error. Can someone please help?

Thanks

Hi nsmadsen

I will also be joining the contest.

Cheers

Nathan,

It looks like you were correct on the file naming requirements. I changed the name of the file from its original title to 'idle' and it played right away.

Thanks for your help!

George

It's odd that you're having so many issues. I'm going to put you in touch with the programmer directly so he can help trouble shoot you. Hopefully this will get you up and running.

Thanks,
