OK im seriously starting to get pissed...the new version of shadow keeper doesnt work on this comp, but the old one does....ok....then the patches wont install, heres the exact message: The contents of this file could not be unpacked. The executable you are attempting has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again...i didnt even know files had integrity...
It did the same with the Java runtime thingy i need to run the Infinity Engine. So can someone tell me what the hell my computer is missing that makes it do that?Thx

have you tried to download it again? Somthing might have gone wrong in the download, its happened to me plenty of times

What is your operating system?

Perhaps thats it...but when i tried to dl MSN messenger it said the same thing...i guess i could try reinstalling if i put my save files in a different folder...did you get the same message as me though?

She is using Win 98

Then there is a problem somewhere... win 98 should not be doing this.

I suggest you reinstall windows.

*groans* nooo, you have no idea how many times ive re-istalled windows on that thing tryin to get the sound to work..i'll try one more time...but tomorrow morning...if it still doesnt work im gonna b pissed

well dont use cheat mayby thats something good ?

Now when did i say i cheated??? I could live without changing my avatar to that of a planetar(which is what i wanted it 4 btw...)but i would really like to have the patch work...so i found my win98 2nd edition CD and loaded it in...so if any CPU nuts out there no what program unpacks all the stuff id appreciate it if youd tell me. Thx!

ps. i apologize for my stupid sig portrait brining up that stupid box, i had no idea it was doing that......i fixed it...sorry for annoying the hell outta u guys..but it was bound to happen soon, i annoy everybody :D

Try putting your windows cd in your cd drive and restarting your computer. It should then ask if you ant to go to windows or start from the cd.

*scratches head* As it turns out, i am the one who put that computer together(as in plugging things in and the like...i wish i could build one!)and installed windows...i'll haf to do it l8a because my auntie is on the CPU right now(im using the pos HP in my room). Its sad that the patch worked on this cpu, so it must b somthing i forgot to put in blah.

Id just like to add that I hate my computer 2 ;)

I hate my computer too, It's a Compaq Presario, I lovingly term it, the Comcrap Prettysorry O. It runs slower than it's clocked at, the ram is faulty. it's got more programming bugs in the OS than AOL has, because ComPaQ just HAD to have a modified OS and BIOS. Well, it's gonna realize it's a POS and commit suicide from the 3rd story of my dorm building as soon as I buy it's replacement [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's been a while since I've run 98, but it sounds like a hardware issue (your sound doesn't work) It would be helpful to know your exact configuration. The error message you received when trying to unpack the zip is consistant with a bad archive. Download again and use Winace to unzip it. Try using System File Checker under MSCONFIG. That'll tell you if you have any missing or corrupt system files. If none of that works, well......NUKE AND PAVE! Good luck

Its a conspirasy i tells ya...!*yanks her hair and stares at the blue hank of hair in her hand* that cant b good...

Hey Animal...WTF did you just say? Im totally lost

I don't mean top insult you, but you said you put it together. Some hardware just doesn't play nice with others, especially sound cards as they are notorious resource hogs. The error message you rec'vd when trying to unpack gatekeeper is consistant with a bad archive, ie: a bad download. Erase all traces of the original download and try it again from a different source.If your using dial up don't do anything while it's downloading; leave it be and try again

I forgot to mention under the run command type msconfig. look for system file checker under that menu and run it. It'll check all the dll's and correct any errors you may have

pulling out some of his hair glorfindel looks over at Lady Blue Ur right.. this cant b good.... mayb it has somethin to do with having annoying computers [img]redface.gif[/img]

I'm glad I don't have enough hair to get a good hold of(thanks to the military), because I'd be pulling the whole lot of them out ;)

wait a minute! i did not put that computer together save to say i plugged everything in...that computer was made in a shop...i like to go smack the techswho built it but i dont know where it was built! o well. My bro will surely fix it..no he will fix it! he better...*looks at glorfindel and says 'this stupid computer is starting to take over my mind, why do we have to suffer? why? WHY?'* omg somebody smack me!

*lightly smacks the lady* calm down milady, it's only an infernal technothing, it doesn't work because you are here in Phaze, and not on either of the poles

you think i dont know the laws of Phaze? I will send thee into a pack o' ravenous werewolves if thou sayest that again!

Heres another of my insightful comments:

Geuss wat.... So did I [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Is there some sort of pattern to this [img]redface.gif[/img] omg... that might b the problem [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Thou dost jest so freely? Mayhap i shall feed thee to the demons!

wouldst thou so non-chalantly force me to waste mine magics over a quarrel of a techno-thing milady? I assure you, no demon would be as terrible as mine wrath, were you to put me in that position

Very well, i agree with thee, no more agruing about the computer. BTW, thou wilt be sleeping on the couch tonight.

ACK! The couch!! milady, surely thou might reconsider.... *sigh*.. accept this fate I shall, might this be a lesson to me: "take care when thou attempts to jest a creature such as thee"
