I've had Il2 46 working fine since it came out, but I've just had a motherboard replacement and a complete XP Home reinstall.
I click a.exe on disc, and Installshield comes into operation. It stutters a bit, to my mind, then goes through the initial installation and placement permissions. I get as far as the green screen and the installation indicator, but this remains at 0%. After a while I get an error message –
˜The system cannot read from the specified device'
It offers a retry or cancel. After about three retries, I cancelled and I got Error Message –
˜ERROR: -30. Preparing...'
...which I click to make the whole nightmare go away. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common...n_confused.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif
Tried out the disc on my wife's computer, and it installed fine, so I know that the disc's OK. (And, no, it is not acceptable to just play it on that...)
We both have Pioneer DVD-RW. Mine's DVR-111D and her's is a 112.
I seem to remember some time ago, a flurry of posts about DVD-RWs not accepting 1946 because of anti-copying software or registry problems. Anyone got any ideas about this or links to fixes?. Remember, I've just had a complete reinstall of XP and a new motherboard.
Also, if you could bear in mind that I'm NOT a techie. If you could word any answers in LaymanSpeak, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks
