Just built myself a new PC:AMD Athlon XP Barton 2800 Corsair 1GHZ DDR RAMAsus A7N8X Deluxe Board80GB Western Digital HDDDVD/CD player 52xCD/Burner,And I'm using the same copy of WinXP Pro that I got installed successfully, also the same copy of my RC3 that I used for FS2002, but I'm getting some really bad errors trying to get this software installed.I get such errors as 'Access Violation at address 00401E1F. Write of address 00000052' Also, 'Exception EAccess Violation in Module INSD.tmp at 00000BD8. Access Violation 0040DE8. Read address 00000001'What on earth does this mean and why can't I get this installed?.These amongst many errors similar to this appear to happen when installing files inside the WINWOOD folder.Any help please.Troy

sounds like the cd has gone bad, or the cd drive is having trouble reading it.try installing rc on another machine. let's see if the cd works on another machinejd

I finally got it installed.My system Bus speed when set to 166mhz would not allow the installation to complete until I finally updated my BIOS.I did get to install though with my BUS speed set to 100mhz..(very slow)But all is up and fine now..ThanksTroy

so were you overclocking? just for my future reference when i have someone else appear with the same problem.jd

Nope. I was not overclocking. Apparently the new motherboard type has some problems with the AthlonXP 2800 and 3000 Barton chip set at 333mhz. I found this to be the case on ASUS website, which is why they provided the BIOS update in he first place. I was just trying to set the BUS speed to where it needed to be.All is fine and there was never a problem with Radar Contact software. Thanks anyways.Troy
