Win 11 issue

[bilbow]

New Win11 computer. Using same switch settings as with Win10, I get a "fatal error 200". Anyone know what this is?

Sound like you upgrade to 11? Try reinstalling WitPAE from scratch but delete old one first.

Sorry just re-read you post, new computer. Did you copy any files from the old? If so reinstall from scratch. There's an old post on the forum about fatal error 200.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't been able to find the post you reference. Can you point me to it?

I would suggest a fresh installation.

That could be it. Some people try to just copy over the entire game directory, but unless the computer has updated the directory of programs it recognizes as installed (I can't recall the technical term at the moment), it will produce an error message. Installing the program from scratch fixes this, and then you can copy in all your saved games, etc.

You do need to install the game on a new computer, then you can move the entire directory from your old computer to the new one.
There are Windows Registry entries that are set when you install the game. Without those you get the 200 error.

Why not just download the game from the members area and be done with it....GP

Got it working. Thanks to all that helped.
I did re-install from the original 2009 DVD, then added the 1126b beta. Then copied over all the non-exe files from the Babes mods. Works well on Win 11 now.
