Windows 7 Issues
« on: August 27, 2010, 07:46:34 PM »
I have been an avid Robot Arena 2 fan for some time and played religiously on my PC. But I've since moved out and gotten a laptop equipped with Windows 7 Home (so sick). But for some reason it wont play RA2. I downloaded it and installed it and it installed just fine... but it says that "Robot Arena 2 is incompatible." Even with the compatibility system working (I went back to Windows 95 for christ's sakes) the thing wont even make an attempt to start. I double click the icon... the little hourglass shows up for a few seconds... and then nothing. Help?

I had this problem. Find Sage on the forum and download RA2 from his sig.
