Okay, two possible problems come to mind when I read this. 1) You are using Windows NT. Are you using a computer that is hooked up to a network? Is it a school or work computer? If so, there may be rules about adding programs. I have to have programs approved by the IT guys for my work computer, and trust me, TS2 would not be allowed. That might be what is generating the "Access Violation." 2) I could be reading this wrong, but it looks like you do not have enough memory to run the game. You only have 72 Megs free. You need LOTS more memory than that. The minimum requirements are: If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM then you need at least: 800 MHz processor or better 256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space If you have a non-T&L capable video card (an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series) then you need at least: 2.0 GHz processor or better 256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space So if the game takes 256 megs of RAM to opperate, and you only have 72 Megs free, then the game can not work. I am just guessing that these are your problems and could be wrong. Hopefully someone more knowlegable than I will shed more light on the problem.
