<div class="IPBDescription">patch unsuccessfully launches</div> I am running Win XP home on an amd 64 3200+
When I try to open the beta 4a patch "ns_v30_b4a_patch" (which I downloaded to my desktop) I get this message:
"... The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction."
My options are to "close" the application or "ignore" the problem. If I chose ignore, I get the same message only it's called from a differnt location, in other words its encountered another illegal instruction. I press ignore again and the application closes.
I have tried the following:
-re-downloading several times and reinstalling several times
-double triple and quadruple checked the correct ns installation guide on the forums
-double checked that there are no duplicate files or folders
-simply trying to join a game but i get the server map doesnt match yours or you have wrong client error message
-scratched my head a few times
I miss ns, I would love to play it again, thank you for any help.

I don't have any solutions pertaining to getting the installer working on your computer, though.
So here is a little gift for you... extracted and zipped version of NS3.0 beta 4a patch... download and unzip it into your half-life directory keeping the directory structure...
<b>Deleted the Link</b>
HTH ^_^
PS: Although Im pretty sure my machine is clear; please do a virus check before opening the file.
that zip file did the trick. thank you very much. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
