• The installation of Zoo Tycoon 2 in Windows 7, now I can not install the expansion packs.

  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.

• Zoo Tycoon... A Patch that I think needs

  I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro and the Zoo Tycoon Microsoft game runs do not at all (necessary for reporting system memory and no light at all... on my system memory 12 GB!).  The approach apparently recommended to limit 2 GB system to avoid this problem of Zoo Tycoon software (via the setting of maximum menory to 2GBs SysConfig) is NOT really acceptable.  Shame on MS if it is not fixed.

  Hi joe,.

  It is not a patch apparently for Zoo tycoon 2 so far to solve the problem of memory.

  So far, this is the only one available for the game patch.

  http://zootycoon.com/downloads/patches.htm

  Have you tried affecting memory larger quantity, say for example 4096 or so?

  Seems to have worked for others faced with the same problem.

  If there is no update released for the game, we'll let you know.

  Other concerns with the game, please post to the Zoo tycoon forums http://forums.zootycoon.com/forums/.

  Kind regards

• Unable to play Zoo Tycoon 2: "the color scheme for has been changed to basic windows.

  I know that this has been answered before, but the answers were not useful or difficult to follow. I have Windows 7 and that's all I know not on my laptop. I am the admin of it so I have access to administration options if I have to.

  OK, so this is the usual scenario you install - very well no problem - you click play and it comes up with this, black to hot flashes and then it does not load the game.

  Things I've tried:

  -Uninstalling and reinstalling

  -Restart the computer after installation

  -Make sure my computer is compatible with the game (typed in "system requirements lab and went to this website: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ ")

  -Clicking on it a lot of time by pure frustration

  -Try to follow the instructions. I did: start > personalization > display > change display settings > avancΘs > Troubleshoot > nothing. The button on that I'm supposed to click is gray.

  Can you help me? What should I do?

  Thank you

  You don't download a Compatibility Mode...

  Uninstall Zoo Tycoon 2...

  Then place the Zoo Tycoon DVD in the drive and if she tries to autorun, cancel it.

  Go to the icon of the DVD drive in 'Computer', do a right click and open/explore the DVD.

  Find the configuration file, right click and select Properties.

  Check the box "Run as Administrator" and then close the Properties window.

  Now, do a right click the installer again and select 'Troubleshoot compatibility.

  When the game is installed, you can locate the icon of the game, right click, go to properties and check the "run as Administrator box" as you did with the installation configuration file.

  XP mode would be worthless because the graphics driver in XP mode is not able to handle the load graphic

  The color scheme will change to BASIC when the game is executed because the game cannot handle Windows 7 Aero. It is normal for many old games...

• 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

• When you install Zoo Tycoon 2 expansion packs, he asks what I want to uninstall

  Because I recently found my Zoo Tycoon: 2 CD (original), I decided to add my packs of extension on it. I have all four expansion packs stay and they all have the same error message when I try to install them: "Please select the content you wish to uninstall."

  I'm not sure why it does this, because the expansion packs were never on my new PC before. Help?

  Hello

  1. are you able to install other programs?

  2. do you have the CD/DVD for the expansion packs?

  3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1: If the CD/DVD, make a flat installation of the expansion packs and see if that helps.

  (a) create a folder on the desktop

  (b) Insert the CD/DVD, open Windows Explorer by clicking on start on the computer

  (c) open the CD/DVD drive, copy all the files and paste it into the folder on the desktop

  (d) run the .exe file in elevated mode of the folder on the desktop by right click on the .exe file by clicking Run as administrator.

   

  Method 2: Run the following fix - it and see if that helps.

• Zoo Tycoon will not play on Windows 7

  Hello

  I read a lot of the help topics for this problem here and I absolutely tried everything. Basically, I have Zoo Tycoon 2 Zookeeper Collection, I have Windows 7 64 bit and the game installs fine, I press play and it puts the base color system and then nothing happens, it appears in the process in the Task Manager, but not in Applications. I checked and has increased the maximum memory change, own started, I tried to change all compatibility modes, I tried update that whatever it is updated, uninstalled then reinstalled. The drive works fine, my cousin tried on his cell phone (she still Vista however) and it worked perfectly.
  The game won't let me a patch, it says that the game is not installed. I have uninstalled and retried and it comes up with the same error message.  Also the game installation does not create a shortcut on the desktop.
  Is there anything else I can try or should I give up with the game? :(

  If this - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Software&s=Zoo%20Tycoon%202%20Zookeeper%20Collection&os=64-bit is your game according to the W7 MS Compatibility Center looks like it should run.

  Are there any error messages given when it isn't?

  Are familiar you with the event log, if so, which shows no error reported when you try to run the game?

  Your PC video and sound card drivers are up to date?

  EDIT you saw this post, I just found this:

  DEP - and exclude the .exe file that starts the game (ZT. Is EXE?)
