Sometimes people encounter an error message like this when trying to run GAME.EXE

Path/File access error in line No line number in module GAME at address XXXX:XXXX

This error message means that GAME tried to access a file or folder, but failed for some reason. This can happen for many reasons, such as a file being missing, a file being marked read-only, a file belonging to another user, or a file being damaged by a hard-drive error.

If this error happens immediately when you first run the program, the problem is probably related to PLAYING.TMP
