Hi guys (and gals). I have an older game by Sierra, circa1997. It is A-10 Tank Killer. I loved this game and played it on an older Compaq system I first bought in 1996. I would really like to install it on one of my two computers, but neither will accept. It runs the system compatibility test and passes. But as soon as it attempts to install. I get an error message: INTEGER DIVIDED BY ZERO. What is up with that? If any of you have ever played this game, you'll know what is cool about it. Good graphics, killer soundtracks. Thanks

What O/S do you want to use it on?

[edit]: As for the literal translation of the error, when an interger (any number) is divided by zero, the answer is undefined. In effect, it doesn't really exist and is read as an error. ;)

That game was made for a 95 machine, Pentium 166-300. It doesn't operate on much higher. For instance, tried installing it some time ago on this system (1.6 Northwood) refused to run. Sad, but true. You may have to dig up that old compaq in order to play it.
