Roller coaster tycoon 3 gold and platnium issues?

i picked up RC tycoon 3 gold and loaded it. tried to start the game and got a message saying Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error the program name and on the bottom says abnormal program termination. i emailed tech assist and they told me to make sure no programs were running in the background. did that with no result. i picked up platnium to see if that would work and it had the same error. i'm using a dell 410 so i know my system should be fine to run these games. please help....much appreciated.

i had this same problem, and the problem was solved by deleting any tangent software you have on your computer. roller coaster tycoon and tangent do not go together, so you need to go to add/remove programs and delete the tangent server and any other programs dealing with tangent. once you do this, you will be able to re-download it if necessary. however in order to run roller coaster tycoon for the FIRST time only, you can't have tangent software on your computer. any other time you start it, the tangent software will not affect it though, so don't be afraid to re download it if prompted in the future.
Reply:what do you mean by tangents? Because the same thing is happening to me and it extremely annoying. Report It

Reply:I think your video card is not good enough to run the game. I don't have enough info to help you. Try reinstalling the game with all programs closed.
