Homeworld 2

Hi,

I have 2 PCs, one of which Homeworld 2 installs fine on, but the other it wont!

When i run the setup program, the system is virtually unusable for several minutes, producing a variety of errors each time.
Such as: MSVCR70.dll is not a valid windows image, Please check this against your installation diskette.

Its not a problem with a corrupt file, because it doesnt work from cd, copied to HD or across the network :(

I can find no reference to this error wrt the game, so it must be a windows problem.

On the machine that it works on, the setup program (HW2_Setup.exe) has an icon, on the machine it doesnt install on, this file has the standard windows executable icon.

As far as I'm aware i have all my latest drivers etc for my nVidia NF7s v2.0 Mobo.

Anyone got any ideas?

Im baffled!

Thanks

Andrew
