I think he means Aliens Vs Predator 'Gold Edition'.
 
I can't check for patches etc as I am at work.
 
Gamesites = filtered
 
EDIT: A bit more information regarding the problem wouldn't go amiss. What errors are you receiving? etc
 
EDIT 2 : http://www.ntcompatible.com/cdetail8354.html
 
Searching the actual site you are asking a question on would be a good start.

OP
Ok sorry. I'm a little new with this. But I don't get any errors. It just wont start. I've installed it and when I tried to start it nothing happened. I checked taskmanager if the game.exe was started and it was. But nothing happens
It drives me mad! A friend of mine told me to change in Options to compatible Win95 but that didn't work either.
 
And I also excuse if my english is a little bit bad. I haven't spoken english for a while.

I have the same problem on Win XP PRO SP2
 
avp.exe comes up as a process on taskmanager but won't run. Is there a patch available?

Game has always worked fine for me in Windows 98/2000/XP/2003.
 
There are patches for the game. Check Patches Scrolls but I've never found them necessary to play the game.
