Initialization error 12

[Icemanbrfc]

Hi Guys

I bought my son a Winnie the Pooh pc game. After I installed the game, I got the following message.

(3.3) C\program files(x86)\Disney interactive\Winnie the Pooh preschool\scenes\xtras\mssx32.x32ispatcher initialization error 12.

Can somebody please assist me with this. I have a win 7 64 bit pc. My specs will easily run this game, but not sure what is this error when trying to play it.

Thanks

Oops that face should be a Dispatcher.

I just installed learning with Nemo as well. I then got the error " library not registered" what is going on with the installation?

Make sure to install DirectX 9c Redist.

If that still does not solve it, then it could be that the game only works on Windows XP or earlier. You can try to run the game in Compatibility Mode for that, but I'm not sure if that is going to fix it.

I managed to run the Nemo game, by changing the compatibility mode to win xp. However, I still can't get the Winnie the Pooh game to run. The Nemo game error was library not registered, but the changing of the compatibility mode did the trick.
The Winnie the Pooh error I'm not familiar with, but it does look like it won't run on windows 7.

Lots of Disney games have this problem. They use a program 'shrinker' to compress exe files which causes problems with newer versions of Windoze. One way to fix this, is to use something like 'DeShrink' to decompress the files causing the error. This does NOT always work though
