Hi, Can someone help please? I have a laptop running windows vista. The game installs ok, but when I try to run it I just get an error message "TEP.exe has stopped working" and nothing happens. It won't run on the desk top(windows XP)as the graphics card isn't powerful enough.
Thank you Myrtle

It's an older game; have your tried running it in compatibility mode for XP?

Right click the shortcut and select properties - peruse to the compatibility tab and set it to windows XP.

Myrtle, I played this game for the first time recently, and had the same problem as you. What fixed it was installing the Nvidia patch for it:

Patch

And then exploring the game folder and double clicking on the new icon for the game that you see there, to start the game.

Thanks, Rushes.
That sounds like the solution.
