cant install dcs world or fc3

[blackturbo]

Hello all,

 

I bought FC3 last night, installed dcs world first, then tried to installed FC3. at the end, it said "waiting for dblock" for a minit later, it says another install process is running.

 

DCS world will load. then after I did the win32 memory fix for windows XP, it will not load and it crashes on startup. the system is windows XP pro, 4 gigs ram, duel core 3.0 ghz.

 

tried to unistall DCS world now so I can re-install it. and all I get, is "waiting for DBlock" then after a minit it says another install process is running.

 

this has been the biggest piece of garbage software so far, please help me!

What exacly is "waiting for dBlock"? Never heard of it and google only sent me to something music related (aside from the periodic table stuff). Could you take a screenshot to show this problem?

 

Also, have you tried the DirectX9c and Microsoft C++ redist installers linked in the FAQs? (links in my signature, they are relevant fpr DCS World also)

Iam waiting for somewon to tell me what they mean. when I try to unistall dcs world , i get a window with a bar flashing "waiting for dbblock" , then after awhile it gives another error "another update instance is running" or something..

Ok finally managed to un-install it again. reinstalled all the c+++, etc. it runs,,,but when i do the win xp 32 bit "/3GB . it crashes and doesnt start, and it slows my pc down. heres my boot.ini

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /3GB /fastdetect

 

thanks for the help

yeah, i dont know why they tell people to do the /3GB switch, it will slow your PC down, my DCS wont even load with it on. get a memory error .

I can only run this game on low settings or it will crash. my system is a duel core 3.2, 4 gig ram, XP pro, radeon dh 4870. and it will only run in default setting, not with the /3gb switch on.

I would recommend to upgrade to at least Vista

actaully yes, this is crappy under XP. I can only get low graphics to work on two seperate XP machines, and both machine are over the system requirements. It really looks awesome and I bet with just a vista upgrade it will run like a charm. However, in my planning in the future upgrades so i can make this game scream will this game take more advantage of multicore processors? I have duel core 3.1 ghz now.
