Disk Problem

[Rich]

Putting a different disk (#1 of GalCivII) in didn't work. Oh, the GC disk worked fine. Don't tell MS but my wife and I use the same copy of winxppro. My drive is less than a year old and didn't come from ebay.

Anyhow, I got dom3 installed on her computer. Went to copy it and got an error from Nero that the copy at 8x wouldn't work (even though it worked for other files to that disk). The folder size is only 300meg. That screwed up the cd and it was the only blank one I had. Today has not been good. Going to town over the weekend and will get a few cdr disks and will try again. Theorically it should work. Then I can copy it to my "games" dvd.

Rich:

I was asking if Dominions copy is not from ebay or other strange place.

You can also try copying it to a USB drive.

[Rich]

Ah Zeldor I see. No. I ordered it from SG using my Stardock coupon.

A USB drive is a good idea. I'll have to check prices.

Could be the drivers for the drive itself are corrupted, or have been screwed with somehow.

You could try uninstalling the drive via device manager (best to do it from safe mode) then letting Windows reinstall it when you reboot. Should be able to do it itself.

Archonsod, that was a good idea. Unfortunately it didn't work. In the meantime I called Tiger about one of those usb drives. They are having a promotion where I got a 2gig drive and anti-virus all for free including shipping. Maybe things today are getting better. It'll be here in about a week. In the meantime, I'll have a chance to peruse the manual. Best I've ever seen.

Btw, just to make sure I have all the patches, I downloaded the latest and a 3.10 quickfix v3. Is there anything else I need?

And I'd just like to comment. You folks are very helpful and I appreciate it.

Wow, I'm proud. Thanks for downloading the quickfix!

You should try the demo. It has few Early nations, and in the first games you'll probably lose any way. That's a good way to learn the ropes.
