Problem with a saved game crashing


Question

Hi,

I'm playing the old Championship Manager 3 00/01 game and I'm getting errors in every version of Windows when I try to save any game I am playing. I have not tried creating a new game and play it and saving yet, but I've played as far as 2046 with one of my games and I'll be gutted if I cannot play any further!

When I get the error, it just asks me to send the error report to MS and that's it. After I click send (or don't send) the game closes. When I go to load the game again, I see a temp_save_file in the list of save games.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game on numerous platforms (Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and 7), both on a physical PC and in a virtual environment. I still get the same errors.

Anyone know of any way I can interogate the error that is displayed so I can figure out a way round this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

P. I can't save games.

R. N/A

S. Right-click your Championship Manager 01/02.exe, click properties and enable "Run as administrator"

If that doesn't work, check out where the game stores its savegames on the harddisk and check if you have full permissions on the folder.

    • Wrong again. Electric vehicles are more reliable than gasoline vehicles because they have fewer points of failure. On average, they last 50% longer. Its your right to be incorrect and my right to correct you.
    • Hello, I am using a Hitron CODA56 cable modem with Comcast Xfinity's 1200 Mbps service.  No issues noted.  I had looked at the Motorola and Netgear options for a cable modem, but neither was available for purchase at the time I upgraded my cable connection. There are multiple models in the Netgear Nighthawk X10 line-up.  I am guessing you have either the the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7000 model (R8900) or the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 model (R9000) model, is that correct?  Both of these only have one gigabit WAN (internet) ports for connection to the modem, all of the remaining ports for the LAN side of things are gigabit Ethernet ports.  The 10GbE port on the devices is meant for connection to local NAS storage.  I suppose you could connect the desktop computer directly to it, although it would still be limited by the gigabit connection between the cable modem and the Netgear residential gateway broadband router. I would suggest looking for a residential gateway broadband router from a company like Asus, Netgear, TP-Link or maybe even Ubiquiti, depending upon budget, that has 2.5Gbps (or faster) WAN and LAN ports.  That would allow you to make full use of the 1.2Gbps connection from your ISP as well as have some room for future growth, speed-wise.
