Bite reinstalling the game
and if it did have the same problem I recommend downloading amrts
somewhere else
or there is an error somewhere in the computer What is your operating software ?

windows 7 64 bit. I jsut want to paly this game I loved palying it when I was younger..

While I am working on a new link of AMRTS for you to install, do you think you can post some screenshots? Like what is in the army men directory, or what (if any) errors appear when you try to run the game.

here is the directory http://gyazo.com/84d2068ea13e7d6bb957fdd22404000b.

the second time I tried it said exception access violation and now when I run it it goes fullscreen and instead of crashing ti freezes and I have to use task manager to shut it down, the third time I ran ti as admin on win 98 compatibility though

Okay. The first thing we are gonna try is re installing the game. First, you're gonna have to uninstall that cheap E]x[F copy of Army Men. (No offense to them )

Next, download this:

https://www.mediafire.com/?93pyxguinbccz9z

Once you have downloaded the file, extract the contents to a new folder to work out of. Once the files have been extracted, you wanna go into the folder, then go into "_Setup" and then run the setup file.




If the program asks for administrator approval say 'yes'.



Next you want to proceed with the installation. If it says your DirectX is already sufficient, then click 'no'.





Please note that you WILL fail some cpu tests. Proceed anyway.





Next you are going to select where you want the game installed to.




Make sure that only the second box is checked here and finish the installation. DO NOT INSTALL GAMESPY! If you wish to play online, get GameRanger instead.




Now go back to the folder that you created before and go into the "Crack" folder.



There should be a file called "amrts.exe". Copy this and then paste it where you installed the game. It should replace the old file.



Now go ahead and try to run the game now. Report back to me on whether it works or not.

it gave me the dx8 error and said access violation

Well sir, need not worry, I'm on the case.

You can probably ignore the DirectX 8 error message. I get it too now since I moved to Windows 7.

Uninstall the copy of Army Men I sent you using Control Panel and then reinstall it again, but this time say 'yes' when it asks to install DirectX 8.0a. Remeber to copy the crack and all that!





Then use Window Update to update your directx, even if you believe it is already up to date.

Then I want you to download this:

https://www.mediafire.com/?43c0u03cu4axrcx

Extract this somewhere and then run the file DXSETUP.exe. It should install a whole bunch of DirectX drivers for different versions.

Then try to run the game again, but this time run the program as administrator.

If you get another access violation, can you screen cap the error itself, and then click "view log" and copy that here?

no errors this time, it launched but it was jsut a black screen and an endless loading cursor on my mouse

Well, can you still post the log? Go to the army men directory you installed it to and open the file called "amrts.log".

Also try to run the program in compatibility mode too. If not, then I guess to only thing to say is that I guess Army Men RTS doesn't work on a 64-bit machine.
