db13 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I am clueless. I am a moron. I am trying to install mvp2005 on windows 8.1 When I go to install the game my screen freaks out and then says "mvp2005.exe has stopped working". My only option is to then close the program.

db13 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thanks for your response. I tried several different compatibility modes (windows 7, vista, and xp). All did the same thing. Screen goes crazy followed by "mvp2005.exe has stopped working". Any other thoughts? I appreciate the help Quote Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/56401-i-am-new-to-everything-problem-installing-mvp05-on-windows-81/#findComment-651551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 y tried the troubleshoot it? y sure y have all the files in the right places. it kind sounds like there a missing file. y could try running as admin. sometimes that helps. it should have run in xp. that the osat the time of release. I think, try these and get back to us if you still have issues.

Yankee4Life Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 What I would suggest you do is search the forums because people have had this problem with Windows 8 and they have found ways through it. Searching these forums can provide a wealth of information.

Jim825 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Are you installing from discs or from a downloaded version of the game?

db13 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 I installed from a disc. Got it sorted out. Thank you. Now I just need to figure out how to install mods! Slowly but surely I will learn how to do all of this Quote Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/56401-i-am-new-to-everything-problem-installing-mvp05-on-windows-81/#findComment-651632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
db13 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have downloaded the mvp13 complete mod. I saved everything into a file. I am supposed to now double click the "explodeme" file that has be extracted. However, when I do this it says the file is unreadable or corrupted. Thoughts? I think I need to do this step in order to install the mod.

markm75 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I can only get my original version of mvp 2005 to run under Windows 8.1 Update 1.. if i try the mvp12 or mvp13 mods it will tank.. Although interestingly, it seems if i first reboot the machine, then launch it, it works.. but if i later close it and reopen it will not. The exact same MVP12/13 install will work fine under a Windows 7 x64 install. The crash occurs after choosing the quick game then "GO" .. progress bar 50% then crash.. mvp2005.exe has stopped working. At first I thought maybe it was the newer nvidia driver causing the issue, but then i installed the 11/2013 driver (which works under Windows 8.0 btw, reboot or not).. and this didnt help, so I believe it is specific to 8.1 or 8.1 with update 1.

MetsFan826 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My game plays perfectly in Windows 8.1. It does crash occasionally but after restarting, it works like a gem. Restarting your PC only takes 10 seconds on W8 so why not?
