Hey everyove, I got Max Payne (the first one), installed it tried to run it and I got this error.
Does anyone knows how to make this error disappear? Max Payne CD is original nad installed 1.05 update.
Please help.

Need a lot more information than that, my man. Computer specs, operating system version and service pack, driver, etc etc.

Windows XP SP2 (all critical updates), Motherboard - Shuttle AN35(N), nForce 5.10 WHQL motherboard drivers, GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB, Forceware 66.93 WHQL.
Anything else?

Anyone?

Do you have any programming apps installed on your pc? Like, M$ C++.net or C++. Delphi,,Java etc

I think that Max Payne 2 requires directX 9 capabilities and the ability to have hardware transform & lighting support. You may have to upgrade your card to run that. And I'm wondering what you're running for RAM and a processor. It could also just be a corrupt file. Try re-installing the game. You've probably done that, but I just thought I'd say it anyway. If you can you could try installing on your primary HD as well.

I'm just throwing out ideas. Just a stab in the dark I guess.


Just to add to that, XPSP2 sometimes gives problems with games. Quite possibly it's that.

I'm talking about Max Payne 1 not about the Fall of Max Payne. Didin't you understand what I wrote? - Max Payne (The First one)

And no, I don't have any programming apps installed

If the game installed? Sorry if you said it is or isnt.. If it is, then just..get a CD less program.. *Cough*

Uninstall the game, and then reinstall it. Try to run it with out the patch

Still the same

Damn, this makes no sense.

1 Try running Max Payne in Compatibility mode (Doubt this will work but you never know)

2 Update your GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB driver to the latest

1. Failed

2. Latest? You mean nVidia 67.20

BTW, tried to open an intro file in the Movies folder and the same error appeared and explorer crashed.
I'm starting to think that I have a spoilage CD
I'll try to install it on other PC and see if it works.

Ok, Good luck

Found out this - max payne cannot run when sound is enabled and still I can only play tutorial
That's enough, I've had it, so here it is. Enyone knows where to download working Max Payne?

Instead of creating a new thread I'm gonna ask here:
I have this problem running some games (Quake III Arena, Alphaball). This happened somedays ago and after running a game config_GL.ini file appears with
in it.
Yes, I had 3D-Analyze installed. I heard a rummor about Half-Life 2 that if you change Vendor ID and Device ID to ATI's card then HL2 will run at 20 FPS faster And after this the Problem began . Anyone got ID how to fix this?

Nigma, about the error with max payne. Simply add in the target line of your shortcut of max payne -skipstartup. For exapmle : Target: "C:\Games\Max Payne\MaxPayne.exe" -skipstartup
This will help If you could please tell me does it works.

Sorry m8, I reinstalled windows 2 days back and the problem is solved

it means that you need a new disk of it because the cd isnt being read propley

you will have to uninstall half life 2 and reinstiall it on your computer

yes why you mean like microsoft visual basic

Max Payne's real problem was one stupid video file in the "Movies" folder. I've deleted the whole movies folder and the problem was gone
Windows reinstalliation didint actualy help, my friend gave me a ripped copy of MP and I noticed that Movies folder was not in it so... you know the ending now

About HL2 problem, well the problem is long gone good'ol format c did the trick. Thanks for the help anyways.
