I cant even install game, forget about playin it! Every time i try to install, it gives me a stupid message " This program requires Windows 95 or later " (like i am playin Windows 3.1...). I also copied all files from 4 cd's to single DVD disk, but it still dont work 
All help information i ve seen only talks about things AFTER installation, but like i said - i cannt even install da damn thing. Didnt any of you get the same message i am gettin? I mean - i can clearly see, that its impossible to install the game under Windows XP Sp2 (which i have). So, what could i do? PLEEEEEEEEEEASE HELP!!!

What game are you trying to install? And what operating system are you using - Windows 3.1 or XP? The game will run in XP SP2. But I don't think it's possible to run it in 3.1! Send me an email: [email protected] I'm sure I can help you get it running in Xp SP2.

Well, first of all you should have five CD's not four. And yes, that is a problem - it will not run that way! So go back to your original CD's to run the game.Fandorin wrote:I recorded all the files from these 4 CD's to the DVD myself, could that be a problem?
To setup Overseer do the following:
You will need to run the setup program on CD 1 in Windows 95 Compatibility Mode. - Go to the drive where the Overseer CD 1 is located and do a right click on it, then do a left click on Explore. Now do a right click on Setup then a left click Properties and a left click on the Compatibility tab. Left click on the box (to put a check in it) next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Make sure Windows 95 appears in the drop down box. Leave everything else blank; no need to check the other boxes. Click on Apply then OK. Now go back to the Setup icon and do a double left click to start the installation. When the install is complete exit the game and reboot your PC.

YESSSSSSS!!!!!! I got it installed - YAHOO!!!!!!!! Thanks, bro, u re real paul:) Ok, here is da story with da 4 CD's. I used to own da game back in 1998 and 1999, and then i gave it to someone. But recently i wanted to play it, but didnt have one, so i purchased it online again and this time, juss like 6-7 years ago it surely had 4 CD's in it, not 5. I have the oroginal box now, juss like da one i had b4. They re similar, and both had 4 discs in 'em. So, which is the fith disc u re talkin about??? Ive never seen one...
What i also did, i went into settins after the game completed da installation and changed 120 milliseconds to 40 milliseconds, like someone here suggested. Would that help at all or i should change it back to 120?

The 5th CD was in a separate jewel case along with the DVD version disc. And you will need it to finish the game!
Well...guess what - then i dont have it Is there any way you could send me the zip, containing all da files on da 5th CD please? You could juss upload it to http://www.rapidshare.de (if its less than
300 mb). Or i dono, maybe i could ask this guy who sold me the game...but i doubt he s got it

Send me an email: [email protected]. Disc 5 is 648 MB, but that really isn't a problem - I may still be able to help!
