Sadly, that did not work; the same problem is still happening. It must be something else. Posts: 2 | Registered: Sunday, November 26 2006 08:00 |

I always liked the exile series better than avernum, so when I was wondering what to do and remembered the nice guys at spiderweb, exile 3 was the first game I wanted to redownload. But darn XP doesn't like me. Every time I try to run INSTALL.EXE it becomes nonresponsive and when I force-close it it pops up with this error message: "The request to end the selected 16 bit task has timed out. The Win 16 Subsystem may be unstable. Press OK to terminate the Win 16 Subsystem or Cancel to leave it running." (I pressed ok, since I don't want anything unstable running until I know what that means) Since this isn't the same message from the problem mentioned on the "if you're having trouble" thing on the site, and a forum search of "Win 16 Subsystem" turned up nothing, I'm assuming its not the same problem. Is it? If not, does anyone know what I can do? I already tried, by the way, running it in win 95 and 98 compatibility mode with 256 colors immediately after a reboot with nothing else open, and have far more than 10 MB available.
