    Hi

    You would get this error message if the game is not cracked or applied the crack properly. I would suggest you to read the instructions carefully regarding installation and try again.

    I would suggest you to contact the game support for the further assistance.

    Hope this helps,

    Hi I have an earlier version of this game ( not gold ) on CD & I got it working on Windows 7 64 bit by the following:

    Insert disc

    Click on' Start' round windows icon bottom left of screen & open up 'computer'

    right click on icon for the game

    select 'open'

    right click the black & yellow 'autorun' icon and select 'properties' - 'compatibility' -'Windows 98/me'  & 640x480

    click 'apply' & 'OK'

    Go back, right click on the black yellow icon again and select 'run as administrator'

    click 'yes' & it should start to install...

    Once installed click on your 'start' menu - all progammes - Sierra - Master of Olympus - then RIGHT CLICK on the yellow Zeus icon and as before select 'properties' -  'compatibility' - Windows 98/Me - 640 x 480 - apply - OK then go back and run as administrator

    This worked fine for me, no need to download an 'exe' file or CD crack.... but then I did have the original disc.

    I hope this works for some of you, it's a delight to play, charming old game...you can up the resolution to 1024x in 'options' once up & running...

     slight crackle to the music track... any suggestions?

    I find these days it is almost more fun trying to get old games to work on Windows 7 than actually playing them!

    With Thief Deadly Shadows I found dropping the resolution to 800x600 stopped any problems, still very playable at these settings in my humble opinion.

    Good luck, I would be interested to know if these Zeus tips works for others... it's possible that some steps can be left out like 'administrator' but I include this because it worked first time for me.. which is rare!

    FYI! This website is full of viruses, I downloaded the recommended patch and was hit with a virus immediately :( cheers for the recommendation!
