And that is the confusion. Your first message says that the installation completed. You do NOT need to run SETUP.EXE again at all. The game is installed on your computer.
What exactly happens if you double click on the icon on your Desktop which says Play History Egypt?
If you go to the installation folder (which is probably somewhere like C:\Program Files\Slitherine\History Egypt - Engineering an Empire - you should be able to get there from My Computer) you should be able to see a LAUNCHER.EXE file, and we want to see what happens when you run that.
Hope that helps.

When I double click on the icon on my desktop, a square enclosed blue field comes up, shows two boxes which have already the (X) in them and at bottom: register, cancel, O.K. When I click on the O.K. the blue field disappears and then NOTHING. I wait to see if it takes a short time for the game to show-up, but NOTHING.
I FINALLY found the LAUNCHER.EXE. file. When I double click there 3 short sentences appear and nothing else happens.

Well that's just bizarre. The launcher should try and launch that EXE - so I don't know why you'd see a different result.
In fact running the shortcut and running the LAUNCHER.EXE should give you identical results - as the shortcut points to the launcher.
Once you hit OK on the launcher the game should run - if this doesn't happen, then it might be an audio or video issue. Have you tried turning off fullscreen and sound in the launcher (toggle the Xs off) and seeing if that helps the game run.
You don't mention the model of video card you have, but it might be worth trying to see whether there are any new drivers for it in case that helps.

The problem with downloading is the fact that I STILL have a 56K modem and pay by the minute when I am in internet. I am not sure HOW LONG it will take to download from my email address even if it can be done with my SLOW modem. But, if that is the only solution, we will have to try it!!!!!

Hello,
I would like to THANK all those who TRIED to get this game running on my computer It has been almost 2 weeks since I bought the game, but it STILL cannot run on my computer Even with the download it has been a problem. This will be my last entry/reply because I have simply lost interest in trying to get it going on my computer and playing the game!!!!!
Take care,
Deiotaros
