Summary: ID=2 error. Missing PICTs Keywords: Install? Frustration. %^*&$#@!!! Message-ID: <1991Mar20.074647.15048@wam.umd.edu> Date: 20 Mar 91 07:46:47 GMT Sender: usenet@wam.umd.edu (USENET Posting) Organization: University of Maryland at College Park Lines: 22 Nntp-Posting-Host: cscwam I purchased VETTE! a couple days ago for my vanilla Mac II. After installing Color VETTE! (self-expanding archive), I tried to run the game. The opening screen/animation loads fine in nice 16 colors. Then, when the game tries to go to the "garage" screen, I get this dialogue: Error! ID=2 GetPict error. PICT not found. Or something to that effect and the program quits. I took the software back to Egghead and reported the problem. After pulling another copy off the shelf, we checked to see if the new copy would run on their machine. It did, so the dealer allowed me to copy the files from the off the shelf copy onto my disks figuring I just happened to get a bad disk or something. I took it home again, reinstalled, and got the same message. It worked on THEIR machine... how come not MINE? I am going to go back tomorrow to try again. I have 2megs of memory and only a few inits running, which I turned off to see if they may have affected the install. No dice. Just out of curiosity, I opened the copy installed on my hard disk with ResEdit and notice a number of blank PICT IDs... 134 thru 140 were empty as well as a few others with higher ID #s. For some reason, it's not installing all the resources right on my machine. (at least the PICTs). Anoyone else experiencing similar problems? Mart
