Help! I am unable to play any of the CD-Rom games on my desktop PC. I

get

the error message:

"Sorry, we were unable to install your game.
Follow the instructions below. If you still have difficulties, click

here to

try to install again."

I followed the instructions, but still no luck. Any suggestions???

FYI: On my laptop PC, no problem accessing this site.

One of these might help:

That registry fix is specifically for the "Room Flashes" error. Even so, it should install as a reg file. Maybe you got a corrupted download. You might edit the file; it should look like this:


-----

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Gaming Zone\Room]

-----

It appears that the one line removes the \Room key (folder), or removes any values in that key.
