Comp.Error.

A bit of a long shot this ,but I have loaded a slightly dubious programme via CD Rom to my laptop.It loads fine and the Icon is on the desk top but at the very end I get" ERROR1904 Module".....It seems to be loaded but will not play .Any ideas?

 

Thanks Marley,you are proberbly right,,but I was hoping someone would know a way round it.I am running windows 7.

 

Have you tried running in compatibility mode right click on the icon for the disc before in auto runs and chose comp.mode win xp service pack 3

 

I concur with Marley Farley.

There may be a "fix" but it involves the "registry" you don't want to go there, one slip and..............

Its probably because as Marley Farley said, (sort of) you have windows 7 but are using an old programme.

Or to put it another way.

I broke my old fork handle, I now have a new handle, but it doesn't fit.

 

Thanks WG and Marley I take your points.
Thanks Lazydog,I was exited about your idea but alas it failed to work....but that won't stop me trying.
Any other ideas?

 

Yes, save time, give up now.

I admit it does seem a waste that you can't use a programme you used to use on a new pc, but if its not compatible, its not compatible.

You may find that infuriating that it is, you can spend more time trying to get it to work, in the hopes that it will work, getting no where. That you would be better off getting either the latest version or a new similar programme.

In my "day job" some equipment makers state their new kit is "backwards compatible" (in other words it will work with older versions of their kit.) But like wise sometimes it isn't, and it all has to be changed for the sake of one small part. But that's how some things are now.

 

Another thing you could do is a duel boot system if you have a XP disc install XP in a separate sector.
