or has cd been marked damaged/virus,hardrive problem,did you disable firewall,antivirus software before installing ??i have kids so tend to hide mine well away from prying eyes[and sticky bleeding fingers]

I had exactly the same situation once, when re-installing M:TW.

Ok, I'll try an install and won't patch up to 1.2, but that won't happen until tomorrow, haven't got time today.

Thanks, if that doesn't work, then I'll bump this topic.

in the manual with the game it says there no need to patch up the game.[RTW]

the simple rules are .

1/uninstall then check for files left over they wil be in a activision folder if they are.

2/disable firewall,antivirus,spamkiller,privacy service software.

3/defrag hardrive

4/check disks for marks blemishes etc.

5/ [pray to your god whoever that is and install RTW/BI] and hopefully everything should be ticktyboo.

i aint trying to be smart because i have done it a few times myself. in haste you install a game. and thats without defraging or disabling antivirus software. but the biggest culprit tends to be when you forget to disable your antivirus software and this can cause you no end of problems aggro.

hope everthing sorts it,s self out

Well, my friend had the same problem and I recommended your advice (basically remove everything and install over a clean 1.0, and he said it worked for him) and it WORKED!!

Hopefully, it will work for me when I do it.

jimmy, I don't muck about with the anti-virus etc. I always manage to change settings or mess something up. But if the above doesn't work, I'll use your idea. Thanks mate.

i run MC,Afee antivirus latest versions[2005 V7] i dont mean mucking about with it .it,s easy to disable it/ or just temp shut them down [ i right click on my mcafee security centre and select the programme to disable[ there are 4 programmes on mine i tend to disable them all] and you should get an option to disable it ] once the games loaded just right click again [for options] to enable it to all work again.as for patches mods, when i am downloading them. I ALWAYS have my antivirus software enabled only disable it when you have done a virus scan and its OK so you can install it into the game.

i know its a pain but it usely pays dividends to take your time and just check various things. left over folders could be a problem [can someone confirm this] in the sense how the game installs its self to RTW so you could end up with problems there. firewalls/antivirus corrupt/interrupt installations as well.

any waylet us know how you get on.

I did this, but it still doesn't work. I give up. I think I will play RTW 1.3.
