I have played the Axis and Allies board game and the original Hasbro CD-Rom game for many years. I played the Hasbro CD-Rom on Win 95, Win 98 and Win 2000. Since I installed XP, it doesn’t work anymore. When I try to run the game it says AxisAllies.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I am using XP Professional. Anyone get this game to work on XP PROFESSIONAL? I have heard many people get it working on XP home.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work either on my XP Home. I also get the “Send - Don’t Send” thing on WinXP.
But in my case, the game crashes after USSR makes its movement (I play as Germany). I can still get through the intro, the main menu, and the USSR movement phase. After the Soviets invade something, the game crashes.
And yes, I have tried compatibility modes ad nauseam.
Here’s my system, by the way.
MSI Wind Netbook
Intel Atom Processor
2GB of RAM
Windows XP Home
Is there any way to play this excellent game on XP, without resorting to virtual machines?
