Need some help installing build 12

First off I would like to say hi. I've been playing POTC for about a year now. I just stumbled across this forum and build, and I have to say...WOW. This seems awesome.

Here's my problem. Apparently i don't know how to install the build. I downloaded it from the main page on this site. I installed it onto a freshly installed POTC and I can't get the game to load. I keep getting this error mesage.

Would anyone be kind enough to walk me through the install. I uninstalled the game again, and reinstalled it.

I have a fresh game and the build ready to be downloaded. Please help!! Thanks.

Please elaborate on the error message you are getting, and tell us where you are in the world - there may be some extra procedures you need to do to get the game started.

The error message I'm getting is at the initail startup screen. When you first put the diskin, it's "initializing" I guess you would say.

The error message is...Runtime error! program: potc\ENGINE.exe Abnormal program termination.

This is on a freshly installed game, so I'm nowhere in the world. Thanks for the help.

I'll be more specific on that "initializing" screen. It's the first one that loads. It says STORM ENGINE 2 on the top, then there's a bunch of text that runs, then it says Xinterface.dll at the bottom. I get the error message halfway through this process, then it kicks the game off. So I can't go any further.

What exactly is happening in your game? This report does not tell much. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
