<t> The mysterious problem affecting my mech file turns out to be a virus called PE JEEFO.A,<br/>
among other names. It is a virus that finds and alters exe files and is launched by a memory <br/>
resident program called SVCHOST-the same name,by the way, as a windows program that is supposed to be ...

<t> I tried the suggestions about mech.exe and this is what I found. When the game-SPWAW8.30-is first installed, mech.exe is 2.84 mb in size. After playing twice, I get the error <br/>
message I noted-mech.exe is not a valid win32 program-and the game won't run. I checked at <br/>
this point and I ...

<t> Thanks to minefield and chief for the suggestions on SPWAW. When I get a chance to try them I'll let you know what happens. <br/>
My XP is a clean install and as far as the onboard sound is concerned, I also am a bit <br/>
suspicious, since that hardware is the only thing this computer has in ...

<t> Hello, I have posted before with SPWAW problems that were never solved. I have built a new computer and now have a new set of problems. I am running XP Pro w/SP1, 256 ram, 2.2<br/>
Pentium, 128 ATI card(Saphire). I downloaded free version SPWAW8.2 and patched to 8.30.<br/>
I install the game ...

<t> The problem of SPWAW not starting, and giving various error messages seems to be ongoing for some of us. The standard answer is to start the game with mech.exe. This may work for some, but didn't for me. I posted details of my problem a couple of months back, to no avail. I e-mailed Matrix ...

<t> I have not been able to solve this: I install SPWAW in my new home- built computer. When I try to run the game I first get "this operation<br/>
cancelled due to restrictions on this computer" error message, followed<br/>
by "invalid page fault" error message. Starting the game with mech.exe<br ...

I spoke too soon, the error returned. Same page fault error followed by
restrictions on this computer error and now the game doesn't load. Any
ideas at all?

<t> After comparing items on my computer that runs SPWAW and the new<br/>
computer that gave a "restrictions" error when trying to start the game,<br/>
I created a Config.sys file with two entries:<br/>
Buffers=30<br/>
Files=50<br/>
I did this in msconfig, checking the selective startup box and ...

<t> I'm not using a spybot, so that is out. I wonder if the drivers for the on chip sound or the video might have something to do with it?<br/>
Win98 makes back-ups of registry on it"s own, but you can also go to<br/>
