I purchased MM2. But it won't play! I've tryed everything, but MM2 just won't launch!

I've also noticed a dowload on my desktop called Launcher, that came from MM2.

I originally had the same prob. But it was an error in the path of the shortcut. use your old shortcut. The one with the Tiger Icon. Not the Orca.

Thank you Panda King! As MANY people have been having this bug including myself I'll leave this topic seperate.

If you deleted the tiger icon already, find your Zoo Tycoon 2 Folder usually located in C:Program Files/Microsoft Games.

Inside there find a file called zt.exe. That will start the game :)

Thanks! Its running now!

But one more thing - should I copy-paste that zt.exe to my desktop?

I wouldn't copy/paste, but you can right click and say create shortcut and put the shortcut on your desktop :happy:

Well It Originally Worked But Then Stopped, I Cleaned My Disk, Restarted My PC, Reinstalled All My Games. Also I Went To My Zoo Tycoon 2 Folder Where You Put The Downloads And It Shows Some Animals But Nothing Else, Its All Blank.

Downloads is for stuff you have downloaded; it shouldnt have anything there unless you have actually downloaded stuff.

Mikamod is correct. Downloads if where BF puts the "official" downloads. If you've got MM and/or AA most of the old ones are included already.
