    Default PLEASE HELP!!!

    ive got a new computer with windows 7 on it, and ive just tried installing RTW. That works, but when I click on the RTW icon a message comes up saying "The progam can't start because MSS32.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I've reinstalled it twice and it still doesn't work. PLEASE HELP!!! I've got to go to school soon but I'll back on just after 9pm.

    Well, I'd say to check the Tech Support forum, but something else you can do is manually download the mss32.dll file (when I get these errors, putting them in the folder of the game that wants the file works) and see if it works.

    Try reinstalling it in C:\Program Files (x86) or in C:\ if that doesn't work.
    I have win 7 and it took me several goes to instal it and patch it up, for some reason the patching didn't work half the time and kept going into old files.

    Try running it in the Virtual Windows XP mode. I can't really help since I don't have Windows 7.

    Moved.

    Reinstall the game in C:\Games after you disable the UAC. It is a Miles Sound System driver the game uses and has to be installed by the game to work. Be logged in as Administrator for it to happen.

    Right thanks everyone that was a great help. I had that problem where the patches wouldn't install; which is why i uninstalled RTW then installed it again, and that was when the error occured. I'll try installing it in C progams 86. Thanks again

    YESSS! It worked after I installed it to C:/Progams x86. Many thanks xD
