The problem with the game is that the game is oh so old and with all newer cards there will one of two possible errors:
the above mentioned error from the creator
you get picture and the game starts but graphics are f'ed.

I've tried it, under Windows XP; you can start a mission but you will see nothing at all, other than the lights on the walls. I can't reboot to Windows 98 right now but, perhaps, it should work properly there... Will keep you informed!

You get either that problem or the error the thread starter gets. Either way, there doesn't seem to be any other fix than to play with very old drivers or older O/S.

The solution is quite easy - you have to rename the game executable from avp.exe to avpg.exe (case insensitive). After that, you shouldn't have any problems running it.
