    Running W2K SP4 with b 4124.

    Loaded DirectX 8.1 for W2k. MW4 installed normally.

    When I start MW4 the splash screen opens and the CD whirs for a while (copy protection) and I get:

    Exception: Attempt to read from address 0x00000051 at 0x00000051

    Same error in full screen or OS Window and different resolutions.

    I installed Patch 3 for MW4. It would not install from a shared Mac Folder. But worked when I copied the patch folder into W2K folder.

    Any suggestions?

    I am not from our 3d team, so my worlds just IMHO =)

    I wanted to play one of the MechWarrior (3 or 4) games (because I like battle robots, mechs and all other stuff like this =), but I simply can't run it, even on my host PC. It crashes, shows me different error messages or just quits silently... So I gave up with it and playing "Shogo mobile armor division" (on my host PC)... Not exactly what I want, but very cool too =) Note, that MechWarrior and Shogo (free demo available on theirs site ;) are not in supported games list, so there is no warranty that one of it will work under Parallels.

    After a tip here on WINE, I found that a Linux user is getting the same exception.

    Sounds like a WINE problem.

    Maybe the next version.

    Sigh
