[Molarman777]

I have not been successful in installing this game. I have tried multiple attempts but my DVD drive will not recognize the game disk.

 

1. Processor-CPU INTEL|C2E QX9770 3.2G 775

2. Motherboard-EVGA 790SLI

3. RAM-4 Gb of Crucial

4. Video Card and Driver version-Dual 8800 ultras-will have to check drivers

5. Type of CD/DVD drive-Plextor755 SATA

6. Internet connection type and performance-Cable through cable company

7. Control devices-sidewinder 2

8. Operating System and installed updates/service packs Vista Ultimate uptodate

9. DirectX version-10x

 

I hate to post this without complete detail of my system but I am at work and cannot access my computer. I am a noob when it comes to software so please go easy on me:D

 

I look forward to installing and trying to get this bird off the ground!

 

Thanks,

Try the disk in another computer. If recognized in the other computer then you might have a bad DVD player. If not recognized, you might have a bad disk. Troubleshooting 101, I love it.

Thanks for the reply. I will try your suggestion but I tried three other disks and they worked fine. I placed this call for help out while at work because I was hoping for the," Oh yeah just go here and check this box and it should work response". I am off for the next four days and wanted to spend a little time on "flipping" the Sharks switches.

 

Thanks,

If other DVD's work then you might have a bad DVD. Check the BS DVD in another computer though.

I will try it tonight when I get home, thanks again.

It worked on my XP laptop but I am certain my DVD drives works on my computer since I have two of the same DVD drives and this is the first time a disk didnt work. I am left to wonder if it is my operating system(vista ultimate) or the copy protection. If there are no other suggestions I will return the game.

 

Thanks for all the help,

I think you got a bad disc. Return it for a new one.

Thanks for all the advice. I cannot even see whats on the disk, I go to click on the dvd drive and nothing comes up, the dvd drives doesnt even recognoize there is anything in the drive. I am pretty confident that it is not my dvd drive(most people always feel its the disk or the software;))

 

If I could even see what was on the disk I would copy and try the mentioned thread but I cannot, so I will try a new disk and see if that will work.

 

Thanks again for all the help.

Again any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Has someone fixed this error by copy-paste the DVD content to the hard drive and installing?

i had this problem when i bought the new silent hunter, replaced the DVD drive and had no more issues.

 

DVD drives are cheap these days and we all know when hardware goes it does strange things. might even be time for a format could any one advise if the CD key on the box version works on the download version

Do tell on how you got it to work in case someone else has the same problem.

I was about to suggest a firmware update for his optical drive. It could be that his specific drive would not recognize some newer media with out it.

 

Glad he got it worked out though. Enjoy!
