Major Tom Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 I tried to load CM on my parent's new P900, running Windows ME, and the CD refuses to copy over the WAV files from 5001-5010.wav. I tried both installing and manually copying the files over, but to no avail. I tried minimal install, which worked. Installed the latest patch, and ran a PBEM file I recieved. Loaded the file, but when the Password request appears it gets into a loop and freezes up. Help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rleete Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Sounds like the drive/folder is out of space. How much stuff is on the drive? Try a disk cleanup (programs/accessories/system tools), and then a defrag. Also make sure the swap file size is large enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Clean/wipe-down your CD with a clean, lint-free cloth. Make sure that there's no dust, debris or scuff marks on the CD (some marks/dust are OK, but occasionally they can be the source of a read problem). The particular files that are having a hard time copying are the largest files on the CD. They are the 'ambient' audio WAV files. Since you had problems with the copy process, there's a possibility that other files didn't make it over to the hard drive in pristine condition. Turn off any anti-virus programs and shut down anything else that may be running in the background when you attempt the install. I'd suggest scrapping what you currently have, follow the suggestions above as posted by R_Leet and then attempt a reinstall after a fresh reboot (with all programs closed, anti-virus off, etc.). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom Posted June 22, 2001 Author Share Posted June 22, 2001 Thanks, I think that there is still 25-30 Gigabytes left on the computer... Probably due to a messy CD, or all of the Anti-Virus programs taking up all of the memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 Have you gone and fished all the critical updates for ME off the net? Once I did that, it stopped crashing once a day and now is better than 98. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
