Problems with the Amber Installer

[fedexior]

Hi.

I'm writting because I have problems with the Amber Journeys beyond installer. I run it and install the game succesfully. But when I want to play, an error message appears:

ERROR: Failed to initialize Direct3D surface (0x8876086C)

Any ideas?

Thanx.

Hi.

My problem is that I cannot even launch the new installer. I've tried it on XP, Vista and Win7, but after double-clicking all I get is a flash of a black window that vanishes right away. No error messages, nothing happens. Does this imply a glitch with my graphics settings? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance -- I've been trying to get this work for ages, and I truly appreciate all help.

Perhaps your AV?

Anti virus programs can sometimes interfere with installers. Also, have you tried to run the installer with admin privileges?

Did you try to re-download the MSI after uninstalling F-Prot?

It sounds like you might have a problem with your Windows Installer. Take a look at this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... 121a13025a

If you still have problems, you could try installing the game with the original installer and unpack MSI and overwrite the files in the installed directory with the extracted files. Without examining everything that the MSI does, I don't know if this will work, but it may be worth a shot.
