Original Message
"FS2K Polygon Repair Patch"

Posted by darkmoment [Passenger] on 06-14-01 at 12:31z
Ben and team

I decided today to have a crack at running your Polygon Repair Patch in the hope that any parrots fluttering about my system would be located. However, after reading the README stuff religiously (not sure I understood it, but I tried) I received the following message in one of those little Windows "This is God" boxes when I tried to boot the .EXE file:

"Run Time Error '5'
Invalid Procedure Call or Argument"

Now what use is a message like that to a dork like me? The bottom line, however, is that nothing happened.

Help. What did I do wrong?

Sincerely
Mark Beaumont

Sounds like a bug in the patch :)
Seriously though, one of the folks here can give an authoritative answer on that. :Q: Make sure that you have disabled any virus protection software before running the patch also.

Greetings Mark:

PRP was written by John Mooney (e.g. not by anyone at the VPC). While he does occasionally drop in at our chats on Tues and Thurs, you best bet is to contact him directly at summit1@alaska.net.

Hope this helps!
Ben

The Bigest Mistake I have is when I open it in FS2000,
Try Unistalling it and Putting in in a Seperate Folder and then try it, Hope this works for you.
