Problem with JP:OG - can anyone help?

Hello JP fans,

I'm having a bit of a problem with Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with it.

My brother has the game and it will not work on his laptop or mine. His laptop has a XP operating system and mine is a Vista, in case that makes a difference.

This is what happens - we put the disc in a laptop, it tries to auto-run and it tells us “Launch Error” and to re-install, before we even install it.

So, we manually start installation - and it installs fine.

But once we start the actual game, (select our island and try to start), the screen goes black and it says that there is an error and offers to send an error report.

So, my brother is a bit upset that his favorite game doesn’t work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
