  • 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?

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:
