sasnz Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 hi guys, i am having trouble installing my cmak game, i have had the game running on my pc before but had to do a clean up some time back and removed it. The problem i am having is the game installes about 90% and then comes up with an error saying that a file wont copy into the directory as it is in use with another programme, and it is unable to share or something to that effect. then asks if i wish to cancel setup or ignore, i have tried ignore and then when starting the game another error states the OpenPlay.dll is missing, i have a friend who e-mailed me this file from his game and i have placed in the right place in the game directory, Now all we are getting is a black screen for about 3 seconds and then back to desktop. My friend thinks it may be a graphics card problem. I am running a radeon 128 card and it tells me in the manual that i have to turn off Anti-Aliasing of which i cannot find anywhere in my display properties. any help would be much appreciated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckgd Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 OK, it *sounds* like it might be that another program is running when you are trying to install CMAK. Perhaps the first thing to try is an uninstall, then a reinstall, and make SURE no other programs (especially anti-virus) are running in the background. If that doesn't work, and you still think it's a graphics card problem (not likely if it's causing a CTD), then right click on the desktop. Go to Settings then Advanced. I forget exactly which tab it's under, but start checking around in those until you find Anti-Aliasing. If it's on, deselect it. I wish I could remember exactly what tab that is under as I used a Radeon for quite a while. Anyway, don't make ANY changes you are unfamiliar with. When backing out of menus (if you don't find the AA under that tab), use Cancel rather than "OK" - just in case. Good luck, and hopefully someone else here might be a bit more knowledgeable on this.

tar Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I've seen reports like this before. I think there is a manual installation procedure that you can try. Check the FAQ in the Support forum or do a search there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckgd Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Ahh, glad to hear it. AV software is often the culprit on any installation. I'll be in touch . Glenn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
