the other day i got a cheap desktop (acer x1430) and figured it would be better to play rct3 on that instead of killing my laptop, only problem is rct3 wont even load onto the main menu, it crashes at 60%.

it will load fine without any CS/CTRs/ect... installed, but i want them. i think it might be a problem with the track retextures i have. i am going to install it again with all the CS and whatever but leave out the retextures, if that doesnt work i will have to manually install all my CS one at a time from scratch

Try getting a better computer like a Vista, Windows 8/10, or Desktop.
