![]() ![]() ![]() I've just spent an annoying evening getting round this problem - hopefully this might save someone else the same pain! It wouldn't surprise me if these were XP-64 or SATA-II issues, but this has been a pretty reliable machine apart from the few issues I've had with these games. The reason I'm asking is because I've encounted similar problems installing other games (Tomb Raider Legend, and Half-Life 2) on this machine. I'm curious now, how many other people who are having this problem are using XP-64 or SATA-II drives? I used the same exact DVD drive in my other machine. The same CD's worked fine in my other machine.ΔΆ) It was not my DVD drive. Not sure whether the problem was due to copy protection, Windows XP64, EM64T/DualCore, or SATA-II drive, but those are essentially the only differences between my two machine configurations. So I decided to unpack the files on my other computer where the game installed fine and then repackage them on my XP64 machine, and to my surprise everything worked. I was getting CRC errors when I tried uncompressing the files under WinXP64, so I tried with a 64-bit archiver (Power Archiver), but no luck. Then someone suggested unpacking the compressed.zip files on each of the cd's and repacking them into a single compressed.zip file. Tried imaging with DAEMON Tools and Alcohol 120, but no luck. One was running Windows XP, the other Windows XP 64. I was able to successfully install the game on one computer but couldn't on another. It's possible that it's a disk issues, but in my case it wasn't. Plenty of threads on this one with no solutions. ![]()
