Going through some old games and thought I'd load up WOV, maybe add on some YAP3. Game seemed to load up OK,desktop icon up but when I try to start it up I get the following message.
Runtime error!
Program:C:\Program Files\Wings Over Vietnam\WOV.exe

Abnormal Program Termination

Hi, not many ideas here- have you tried to launch it vanilla before adding the YAP mod?

Ah, one more thing, I had the first YAP cd, and if I remember correctly you have to add some Thirdwire patches before adding YAP. Some but not all.

Care to try?

Suggest getting it running at the correct patch level with no mods as above

DX 9c sometimes needed upgrading as well.
