Need replacement cd

[Banquo]

Hi there,

 

I hope this is the correct place to post this; please redirect me if not.

 

I bought Lock on Gold a couple of years ago and installed it, though the second CD took an age to install.

 

I had to uninstall it and reinstall but now I can only load the first CD and not the second CD, Flaming Cliffs. It is no longer recognised by my DVD player.

 

Is there any way I can get a replacement Flaming Cliffs CD or will I have to buy another copy?

First you should try your FC CD on an another PC if it is not damaged.:thumbup:

Thank you for your reply f-18hornet,

 

I have now tried the disc on two other pcs. One was not able to see the disc, the others allowed me to run the disc but after the installer starting the CD froze.

 

I think I can safely say it is a problem with the CD unless you have any other suggestion

 

Thanks for your help :)

I get the same problem with my Flaming Cliffs disc from my Lock On Gold.

 

Try this: copy the install file from the Flaming Cliffs disc to your desktop (or somewhere on your hard drive). Run the install file. Works for me!

Thanks. That may well do the trick.

 

I will try it and let you know.

 

Thanks for your help :)

No problems. Yeah, do let us know!

Hi there,

 

Thanks for the tip but no go.

 

On each different machine I get a cyclic redundancy error which I think means that the CD is not going to work in any way, shape or form.

 

I will see if I can get another copy soon.

 

Thanks again

Getting exact the same error as you.

I tried to copy the files to disc. My Russian language "Lockon: Gorjatjie Skaliy" CD #1 gives an error: cyclic redundancy. My next move was to try resintalling which didnt work, coz the installation stops at copying protect.dll, after a while the installer stops and quits. I then start lockon.exe which then produces error window about "lockon.exe abonrmal program termination".

 

I havent removed the disc from the CD-drive in 8 months time. My other games are all digital downloads via Steam so no need for me to change discs. Physically the LOFC disc looks perfect, no scratches or such.

 

After having reinstalled windoze and then double-clicked the lockon.exe, starforce asked me to reboot the machine. Then, lockon.exe clicked again and after a while starforce gives up. I then followed this thread trying to copy the files, no use.

 

I saw LO Gold for €29 and dont wanna pay again coz i already bought LOFC twice before: the download version and the russian CD-version. The english download-version is installed on another machine.

 

all help /advice appreciated.
