    Dude, thanks for the reply. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition, 32 bit. Going to try and reinstall the game right now, but please feel free to comment further. Let me know anything else I could do to get It working. Thanks.
  • Basically its just a dufuss error that comes up when the game thinks you tried to modify one of its files. It appears to be a fail attempt at hack prevention and modding of the game.

    1. Try restarting your computer ( this actually works sometimes ).

    2. Follow the instructions below:

    Utilize the program CCleaner to uninstall crossfire, and clean out the registry of its existence.

    Delete the Crossfire Folder in MyDocuments.
    Delete the Z8games Folder in C:\ProgramsandFiles(x86) - or just C:\ProgramsandFiles

    [Optional]
    Find Run.exe on your computer - RUN.
    Type in: msconfig
    Select the Services Tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services", everything that appears in the list needs to be unchecked.
    Now select the Startup Tab and uncheck everything.
    Next, select Apply and click ok. Restart the computer.
    Restart The Computer.

    Turn off all AntiVirus/the Firewall.

    Download a new Install Client from Z8games, install the game. Run it as Administrator.

    If the above fails, we'll get into the router settings or attempt something else.
