Hi there Meghmala !

I have already looked at the first link and that is not the problem.

In the second link

method 1: didnt work

method2: didnt work: it kept saying that it was not a valid command and stuff

method 3: i am running on a laptop so there is no other drives to use

method 4: i have had that type of prob lem with other programs and know how to fix it, this is not happening with my current problem

method 5: i tried this to no avail.

method 6: zoo tycoon automatically installs the files and you cant choose the destination folder: probably because the game is an expansion pack.

method 7: all the files on the page to download didnt work, i had to run a few of them as admin but they just said that my computer doesnt need the update

method 8: this is the one im confused about. i downloaded the software and ran it and as the instructions said, i clicked 'remove' on the zoo tycoon 2. but a popup said that it would not work properly and i would have to reinstall all the versions. i dont want to do that. NEED REASSURANCE ON THIS ONE.

method 9: that is not the problem and i do have sufficient internet cnnection

method 10: i have done the instructions but still have to restart my computer.

method 11: i am in Australia.

the only thing that might seem to work is method 8 but i am worried about the fact that my game wont work properly.

thankyou for helping in the fist place but your answer didnt fix my problem.

do you have anything else in mind?

thanks,
