Thanks to the person here who has posted the trick to set virtual memory to 2048, I got edition of Zoo Tycoon 2 guards running. Now that I'm trying to add expansion packs, I get the message that I did not install Zoo Tycoon first, and that I need to install it. What?
Before using the virtual memory fix, I found here, I tried to run in XP mode, using the also found instructions here. I wonder if this is the reason why I get the error message, and if so, should I uninstall and reinstall without changing the compatibility mode?
Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I solved my problem by uninstalling Zookeeper Collection, replace and reset maximum memory of 2048.
Once I thought I had installed as an administrator or as the account of my children, I have had no problem by uninstalling Zookeepers Collection and put it back. Install the expansion packs was easy after that.
I'm going to bookmark the Zoo Tycoon Support site for later use. Thank you.

My computer came with Windows 7 installed, but when my hard drive broke, repairing computer of our school it is replaced with a new hard drive and an illegal copy of Windows 7 Ultimate in Chinese with a language pack English. My new school, Peking University, provides a free legal copy of Windows 8 in English and Chinese, so I tried to upgrade to the English version. I could not switch to another language, so I checked here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2607607/en-us to see that all versions of Windows supports language packs and the Chinese version.
However, in the Control Panel, it says something like "cannot use language packs. What is the best way to do my Windows work in English? I could also just install a new version of french Windows 8 with license from my school, but it would be a shame to have to back up files and settings and reinstall all my software.
I found a download link of the Pack of language and installed by running the lpkinstall command. Now it's working. Was probably easier than having to reinstall everything using the English license :-)
