Yes I used search before someone complains

this is my favorite game of all time, tried to play it

get through the intro then it crashes with the classic "JK.exe has stopped working"

I've tried several fixes in the compatability options, and the -windowgui thing

any advice pleeassee?

Right-click the shortcut.
Click the Compatibility tab.
Place a check in the box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:'
Select 'Windows 98 / Windows Me' from the drop-down list.
Under settings, make sure there are checks in the boxes next to 'Disable visual themes', 'Disable desktop composition', & 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings'.

Click OK to commit the changes.

Let us know if that helps or not.

I know I am going to sound like a pest here but--

are you SURE you did the -windowgui fix properly? The only reason I ask is because that is the exact crash you get before the fix.

The only other thing I can think of offhand is maybe you forgot to copy or misplaced something when you installed the game manually?

Compat modes are utter ****, It has never helped me ever.
Did you do -windowgui properly?

I have done all of those compatibility options and have done the -windowgui

So it starts in a window then?

it doesnt, but the command is right

EDIT: "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Jedi Knight\Jedi.EXE" -windowgui

It should, I don't see anything w...
JK.exe not Jedi.exe.

WOW WHY WOULD IT INSTALL LIKE THAT THEN, BUT THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Jedi.EXE is the launcher, JK.EXE is the game itself.

NEW ISSUE, when the game is about to load it crashes with the same error, like the loading bar completes, then BAM, crashes

I refer you to my signature.

UPDATE, had to enable 3d acceleration, game looks like crap in some exploded window..but at last, my childhood isnt dead! long live JK!

You are using the unoffical patches and 3D accel fix right?

it is unpatched =[

i got excited and wanted to hear that first Gran go "Garshootsa Shelfed"

All you need to know is in the linked thread in my sig.

Tibby, please add Counchman's initial issue and resolution to your JK issues thread.
