Help with Tres Ops Level please
Hi, I was wondering whether someone could please help me with a problem I am currently having with the installation of the Tres Ops Level. Any feedback would be appreciated...
After I extracted the files, I tried to install the TresCom Ops Level(Act I) Final, however, once
I click on the setup of the level it gives me a window "Searching for software"
After about 30 seconds, the window disappeares. I tried extracting and installing it
on another computer. (Both have windows XP) It was able to "Search for the software",
and I was able to get to the installation screen and enter the password generated
by the Tresword program. I didn't go further, as I only wanted to see if I had the same
problem on the other computer. I do not play Trespasser on the other computer, though.
(It's just a backup computer) (Oh almost forgot I have a harddrive install on my pc.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Any suggestions, fellow Trespassers?

First off, Welcome to TresCom! 
I'm sorry, I have never seen, heard of, or had that problem. If you have the retail trespasser installed on your computer, I don't see why it wouldn't detect it. Hopefully someone here can help you.

Thanks for the welcome...
I have the original Trespasser, bought it in '98 (Quite proud of the fact)...

Welcome, to Jurassic Park. 
Just to be clear, you'll need to have installed the game from a copy of the CD files on your HD, and not from the CD itself.

Yes! Someone finally answers!
I did a harddrive install in 95 compatibility mode...
I haven't used my original disc in ages?

Alrighty, well... did you use the default directory for installing the game?

Well then, I don't have any suggestions. Hopefully someone like machf can provide some guidance on things to try..

Hey, Shadow Wolf, thanks for the reply.

You're an old member. What's it about, beside the raptor jumping, extra cheats?

Re: Help with Tres Ops Level please
well, I'm not all that old a member, I just used to post too much
TBH I don't actually have ATX, I spend more time modding and testing than playing... it increases the graphic res, restores some disabled cheats and adds some more IIRC, it adds new AI routines to dinos, other members will probably be able to tell you more.

Re: Help with Tres Ops Level please
I'm sorry to hear that Shadow Wolf.
Do you have any ideas for my current predicament?
