    I have plenty of space left on my hard drive. The game works on windows ME and it did install some time back on WinXP. I then updated to SP3 on Windows XP and I think thats when I could not run it. Also on ME the shortcut would not work . I had to run the game from the Start Menu/Programs/XICAT/JAS path.

Since I have no idea on what all you have done, I have some questions / suggestions.
1st: Have you Defragmented your computer? If not this month, please do so ASAP.
2nd: How much free space is left on your hard drive? You need over 15% free space.
3rd: Have you cleaned out you cookies, temp Files & Temp. Internet Files?
4th: Every item you add or install anything on your computer, it starts running each time you boot up.
This eats up your limited power and processor.To see this you will need to use the CRTL/ALT/DELETE keys to open up your TASK MANAGER
On the right side you will see a TAB called START UP. Each item that is checked or ********** is running in the background.
You do not need this stuff running. Its a gift of Microsoft to make it start faster for you and is no longer a needed tem since you have so much power.
Uncheck most if not all items, like MSN or YAHOO chat, Games and anything not directly related to the computer operation.
Has it ever worked? If so, how long ago?
if not too far back, do a system restore or wash the discs in very warm water and liquid soap. Always was discs in one direction only and never in a circle. dry same way.
please let me know.

Hi, everytime i go to run my CD i get a error message saying, demo shield runtime error. what do i do.

Have you installed a Demo version of Install Shield? Or Demo Shield?
It appears that is what is on your PC and is not running correctly.
Go through Start Button, Settings, Control panel, Add /Remove Programs, and find Install Shield Or Demo Shield and UN-install it.
That should get rid of the error.

But what if you don't have either of these programs on the PC?
Is this happening on all CDs or just one? If just one, then the installer for the program is bad.
If you know what you're doing, you could try a manual install. If not.. replace the disk.

Possibly the uninstall has not been complete last time you uninstalled Hidden & Dangerous 2 Sabre Squadron.

Try to run uninstall again and then install. Also delete everything you can inside C:\WINDOWS\Temp and use EasyCleaner...

If still fails, try uninstall and install in safe mode.

As a final solution. Just do a clean reinstall for whole Windows. For such a great game it is worth it.

Install Shield is a windows application that installs your programs. Go to www.microsoft.com and check for the files that your computer say is missing and also look to install a few service packs which are a good thing to do. This will take care of your install problem. Good Luck

Error: avgmfx86.sys starting service, error 0x8007007f

Error code 0x8007007f or error code 0x8007007e loadTOCNode(2, 'cause');This problem frequently occurs after you upgrade a service pack. After you upgrade, there appears to be a corrupted file, a missing file, or a file mismatch

That is what microsoft's website says about the error. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? Also have you made sure you have all the microsoft updates available installed.
Keep me posted,
