Help to install Zoo Tycoon 2 "Zookeeper Collection" on Win 7 64 bit?

Howdy!

I tried several times to install Zoo Tycoon 2 'guardians of Zoo Collection' on my PC with WIN 7 64 bit, but for the life of me, I can't make it work. Everytime I try to start the game I get an error box saying I don't have enough graphics memory. Of course this is not the case because I have a Nvidia Ge Force 8800 GT with 256 MB of ram with a quad core and 8 GB RAM. So it's not like my system it cannot manage. It worked fine when I had Windows XP as well so I'm a loser. Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance.

Hi pigdeluxewithcheese,

Sorry for the late reply. You can try to install the game in clean boot and check if that helps: to start the computer in a clean boot , you can see the link below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Make sure that you reset the computer in normal mode after the installation (you can view step 7 from the link above)

You can even try the steps listed in whitneya2007 from the link below: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/71cc8b9b-5ab5-47e7-b060-70656ee82352

  • How can I get a replacement of Zoo Tycoon 2 Zookeeper Collection drive?

    A relative of the United States was made a Zoo Tycoon 2: Zookeeper Collection (PC) as a gift some time ago. The problem is that a disc does not.

    I can see, he is not even scratched, but computers do not recognize properly. I tried on different computers and it just doesn't work. Disc two, however, works perfectly. The problem is not on my computer because I tried the disk on other computers, sometimes I've been able to see the contents of the floppy disk and sometimes only the Volume name, but nothing else (obviously never run automatically, by clicking a configuration had no effect either).

    I also tried xcopy the files, but it gives me a cyclic redundancy error. The disc is clearly damaged or defective.

    Since I don't live in the United States, I don't know how to get a replacement drive. I tried the support online site and it asks to install a PID that I have no idea on since I can't find it on my drives, nor the game case and I cannot get it. It has a certificate of authenticity, for what it's worth.

    I live in Buenos Aires in Argentina. I would be grateful if someone could guide me so that I can get a replacement shipped to my home drive.

    Thank you

    Hello Luciana,

  • Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection Disc 3 error

    I bought Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection on amazon.com and I'm having a problem installing. Setup cross disk 1 and 2 with no problems, but it does not seem to recognize the disc 3. I put it in drive and it just keeps popping up a message to insert disk 3.  I read everywhere that it was a known issue and there is that you will need to obtain a replacement CD-ROM. This disc is still available today? If so, how can I get it?

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 does not work on Vista 64 bit Ultimate

    When I start the game it gives an error saying that I have 0 MB of RAM installed.
    I also have a stub GPF.

    I tried to turn on DEP for all programs and added ZT.exe in exceptional cases.
    I edit "MSCONFIG" to show only 2 GB of ram.

    The issue of ram 0 MB goes, but I still I get a stub of protection error when I start the game.

    The thing is my old Zoo Tycoon 1 full collection works very well.
    ZT1 was released around 2001-2002. Whereas ZT2 came out around 2006.
    How can and more old-fashioned work fine but not the new version. I expect it to be the other way around.

    Someone at the helpdesk said MS the ZT2 game does not work on Vista 64 bit and I should install a virtual machine so that it can work in 32-bit.
    Is really the only way? Help, please.

    Hi orbit17,
     
    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.
     
    Try to turn on DEP for "Windows programs and services only" and then restart the computer and check with the game.

    Here is a link to a KB which deals with the minimum requirements of the system and the compatibility problems with Zoo Tycoon 2: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/889368

    Please make sure that your computer meets the requirements for the game and that your computer is compatible

    Also how much RAM do you have installed on the computer?
    Did you add extra RAM since the purchase of the computer?

    You can also try to run the memory diagnostic tool by using the Windows Vista DVD.

    I hope this helps.

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 ultimate collection-problems with disk 2.

    Hey my laptop is Asus brand and I have windows 8. I have zoo tycoon-ultimate collection, and it worked fine on my last laptop. Disc two usually run on my computer and it comes up with error 1305 error reading the file. I looked in other forums to help, but none of them seems to fix the problem I have. Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts toward resolving the issue. I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue.

    1. Are able to install the game on another computer using the same disk?

    Try and copy the contents of the disc in your computer and then try to install it. If you are not able to copy the file, it could be a problem with the drive itself.

    Alternatively, you can try to install compatibility mode. After you copy the configuration from the disk file, try the following steps.

    a. right click on the driver file and select Properties

    b. Select the Compatibility tab

    c. place a check next to run this program in compatibility mode and select the operating system in the drop-down list.

    d. let the driver to install, and then check the functionality.

    If you need additional help, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection will not work

    I just bought the ultimate Collection of Zoo Tycoon 2 and installed on my Windows 7 computer. I tried to set the compatibility mode to run on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and also tried to run as an administrator. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and still does not work. Initially my desktop theme has changed to the generic (which most games do when they start to load) and then all of a sudden he would return to normal and nothing happened. But after the change in compatibility mode, it now gives me an error saying to insert disk 1... Of course, disc 1 is inserted exactly as it appears in the computer in the list of drive for drive E, my cd-rom drive. Of course, it was a waste of $40. I would like a refund please.

    For anyone interested, I got it works by setting the compatibility mode to Windows Vista.

    Right-click on the game .exe file, go to properties. On the Compatibility tab, check run this program in compatibility mode for:, and select Windows Vista from the selection menu.
