| Runtime error PLEASE HELP I HAVENT EVEN PLAYED THE GAME YET!!!!!!!
C++ errors are usually caused by software or driver issues.
Maybe it's a program that you have running. Maybe it's the
new device or driver that you installed on your system. If you
recently installed printer drivers, chipset drivers(VIA especially),
or a new video card this could be the cause of your problem.
So, if you set your BIOS to 4X or 8X AGP recently or installed
new software or hardware, that should be your very first suspect.
1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using:

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

2. Run a virus scan at:
http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from:
http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.
3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
