Sanok Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I try to install CMBO, but nothing happens. I insert the disk, click the D drive icon, and the screen changes to the install page. I click the install icon, but nothing happens. The disk spins in the tray, but the install won't begin. CMBB and CMAK installed without problems. I cleaned the CMBO disk, it isn't warped, and I can't see any scratches or damage on it. Here are the specs of my conputer: Computer Specs [ February 16, 2005, 03:34 PM: Message edited by: Sanok ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 If you have anti-virus software running, you'll need to disable it temporarily. If that doesn't work, then you may need to boot into Safe Mode and attempt the installation there. There's a slight possibility that the CD/DVD drive may have problems reading the disc, but that is rare. Is this the Battlefront/Internet version of CMBO or is it a Retail/CDV version ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deactivated the anti-virus, but the game still did not install. I have the special edition version that I bought at the local mall here in the US. If I need to boot into safe mode, I don't know how to do that. I noticed something else. When BB or AK is in the CD tray, the D drive icon changes to the appropriate CM game icon. With BO, it doesn't change. The words below it change to Combat Msn. Also, with BB and AK, the computer makes a quiet hum when the disks are spinning. With BO, it sounds *much* louder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Are your CMBB & CMAK discs the BFC/Internet versions ? The CMBO Special Edition disc is a CDV release and it uses a different form of copy protection. It's mildly possible that this copy protection is making it hard for your CD/DVD drive to read it properly (thus more spinning or frequent spinning up and down, etc.). To boot into Safe Mode, restart your computer and before it shows the Windows splash screen press the F8 key. This should bring up a text-based menu where you can select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking by highlighting the selection with the arrow keys. This mode should allow you to see the CDROM and install from it, but it won't load up all of the software that normally loads up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanok Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Using safe mode, I was able to install CMBO. I appreciate the help. Thank you very much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
