Hi everyone. After trying allot of things I managed to install the game Z (made by the Bitmap Brothers). Iam running a Windows XP OS, AMD 2800 1024 DDR. I have 2 problems. The first and most important one: When I wnat to start a new game a error pops up saying "Instruction not allowed". what is this and can it be helped? (i hope so otherwise i can't play the game) my second problem is the colors aren't good. I allready tried putting the colour settings to 16 BIT, but still no luck. If anyone can help me with this....

Thanks in advance

And if this is DOS game, try running it via Dosbox.

Thanks for replying. I have tried DOSBOX and this game was designed for windows 95. And this is not Z:steel soldiers. This is just Z.
