[bushwacker]

Hi all,

 

Could some one please help me with this fault installing BS. I have had the game on this system before by opening the fold and making the .exe to install run in compatitablity mode service pack 3 and run as administrator, then i would have to leave it running for a while sometimes take dog for a walk and come back its done. But now it won't install just stops reponding a nd the dvd drive just keep cycling ? I have then tried to install by just clicking the autorun.exe but when i then launch a game after setting options/registartion etc i get a error 5 ? My system is:

1) Have you tried cleaning the disk?

2) Have you tried copying the files to your hard disk and install from there?

3) Can you borrow a DVD drive and check that your existing DVD drive is not at fault.

4) Check that you can install the game on another computer.

5) There are some setting in DVD drive properties to enable something, not sure what it is but check in device manager.

try this, copy the entire contents on the disc to a new folder on your desktop and once its been copied there, try and install the game using the setup.exe or autorun icons, whatever you may have.

 

You may have better luck doign it that way rather than installing it from the disc.

 

If you do it that way and it works, then save that folder, copy it onto another disc ? but save it and install BS from there everytime, as it could be your disc thats messed up and you may or may not be able to clean it and be able to install from it again properly, but just cuz it wont install from the disc properly, chances are you can copy the files onto your harddrive and install that way no problem.

 

But first off, uninstall blackshark, and delete the install folder before trying to reinstall.

Hi and thank you for your reply. Answers to your questions are:

 

1) Have you tried cleaning the disk? Disc clean , no scratches..

2) Have you tried copying the files to your hard disk and install from there? Tried this and same thing (not responding)

3) Can you borrow a DVD drive and check that your existing DVD drive is not at fault. Installs other games np...

4) Check that you can install the game on another computer. Tried on my wifes laptop and same thing (not responding) her's is a vista system ?

5) There are some setting in DVD drive properties to enable something, not sure what it is but check in device manager. Had a look do you mean change DVD region setting... none set at the moment and have never had to do this before only allowed 5 changes....

This is driving me crazy :book: please help

Hi all,

 

Sorted it, sort of ! Kapersky required turning off completly to install. Then when launching game from options screen error 5 occured so turned off kapersky again and game works ... So it is my anti virus causing all my trouble. Thanks guys for your replys.
