Can't get CMBB to install.
I am trying to reinstall after putting XP on my machine (fresh install of XP)
I've tried all the suggestions in the trouble shooting guide and here on the forum.
I have the firewall and virus scan off.
Four tries today, here's what happened:
I washed and dried the disk.
1. Normal install from my RW CD drive (drive F). Got almost do and went installed up to WAV\00090507. Once here the drive just spins with the CD and HD lights on but nothing happens for a significant period of time. Go to task managetr and it says the program is no longer responding.
2. Tried to copy the insatll program to the hard drive but when it gets down to 10 seconds remaining, it justs starts spinning and the the time to completeting starts changing to 2 minutes, then 35 seconds etc. Finally an erro pops up and says: cannot copy CMBB installer, invalid DOS function.
3. Tried to install to my second HD usding the normal installer. I shut down as many processes as I could.wav and it spins for awhile then I get a red error: Read Error, Incorrect function stopped.
4. Unplugged all USB equipment except the mouse. This one got to WAV\00092606 and I get the same error as the above in 3.
What's funny is the game is actually on the drive after all of these and I can start it but there are no scenarios present.
I thought that this may be a damaged disk but it seems it is noot as it makes it to different files each time.
Great game when I could play it.
Any ideas?
