I'd try giving the disc a clean, and try it again. Was this a purchase on disc? or a download?

I also install DirectX 9.0c to system. This error message seems to me that it is related with java.

Hi Mustafa and Welcome to Virtual Dr. :)
What version of Java are you using? Have you tried emptying your cache before trying the install.
Liam
Hi Liam, thanks for your wellcome.
I installed "java_ee_sdk-5-windows.exe", and "j2re-1_4_2_12-windows-i586-p.exe" from java.com.
Unfortunately I have no idea how can I empty my chache? :confused: If you can describe I will try to do it.
Kind regards.
In Control Panel|Java|General Tab|Under Temporary Internet Files|Delete Files.

Still have the same problem. Can it be because of graphic card. It is a Asus NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with 128 Mb. If I change what would you recommend?
Thanks in advance and regards from istanbul
Sorry, this one slipped away and out of sight.
The 5200 is at the very bottom of the Nvidia range, and to be honest it's a bit of a stinker.
What is your budget for a new card?
Liam
I am thinking of spending around GBP 80-100.
I will happy if you recommend a card that it is proven of working with this game.
Thanks
You should be able to pick up a Nvidia Geforce 7600GT for about £110, and they are excellent cards for the price.
Liam
Thanks a lot Liam, I will try this card.
You're Welcome. :)

Hi everybody,
I wrote this note with the solution of problem. Now happily my 8 years old son can play the game with current card. (so it was the cheapest solution for me) I did not change the graphic card. I just changed the settings of win XP. Here is the steps of solution :
1 - Start Button menu ->
2 - Settings sub menu ->
3 - Control panel
4 - Regional and language options window
5 - Under "Regional options" tab, change the first dropdown selection box from the whatever language into "English"
6 - That's all.. Then your game installation will work properly. (Mine works now!!!) Have fun.
Best regards. (Thanks to Liam again)
You're Welcome again.
Thanks for letting us know. :)
Liam
