I installed this game on mu computer and when I start go.exe it gives me a message "An unhandled exception occurred in go.exe[3344]".

I tried the "-nocputest" solution and it still wont work (i started go.exe from command line with -nocputest parrametar, or I added -nocputest to go.exe file name).

I have a Windows XP. I used to play this game without problems on my old computer with Win98.

supafunk: I have deleted another duplicate post of yours.

And runnin' Expendable under WinXP is a serious problem =)
I still can't run it(

The -nocputest Parameter on the go.exe worked for me on WinXP... without the Game Crashed after Loading 1st Level.

I also had to Change in Soundsettings to "Direct Sound 3D Software emulation"

what systems are you running xp on? I got it to run on xp without crashing.

on a toshiba f10 laptop, xp mce, fx 5700, 512mb.

It is a Core2Quad 9550.. with an ATI HD 4870

Running XP Home SP3

is that card AGP or PCIE? some old games have issues with newer cards.

It doesn't seem related to the graphic card or OS. He's running on a multi-core CPU while you're running on a single-core. Some older games also have problems with memory > 512MB.

i think its the cpu too... cause i have to disabling the CPU Test

BTW is in the First Level of the Game water to See?
I only See Orange/yellow/Brown fog around the "playfield"..

Well, Radeon 4870 (PCIe of course) and... a D3D6 game. Yes, graphic card DOES matter 😐

A Geforce FX has a lot more chance to be compatible of course.

P4 3.2E, Radeon HD2600 Pro AGP, WinXpSp3, Catalyst 12.3.
Expendable works w/o any parameters.
Expendable Lite - ctd (expendable.exe offset 8094). Maybe because my version is hardware specific...

It depends on how the drivers were made. The Geforce 8000 series and newer took years to be compatible with Directx 5 and 6 and all because of the horrible drivers at the time.

This game is available on GOG.com if anyone is wondering 😀

true it's drivers that add compatibility, but using old drivers on new cards doesn't always work and an actual old card is required. it's best to have a spare old system for 100% playability.
