RedStar 0 Posted May 26, 2003 My installation routine for files under win2kpro 3 has always been a litle picky. but lately 2/3 games have caused me large problems when trying to install. If i put in the game disk..the auto installer just keeps running one setup.exe after another...forever...my processor will eventually reach 100%. In any event, i must reboot to recover. I can't verify my files because in quite a few cases it wants a service pack disk..and it won't recognize the one i made when i downloaded the packs from the internet. Its very hard to abort the file checker in that case. Anyone else been experiencing this... Or, even better, does anyone have a good solution to this problem? TIA Share this post Link to post
RedStar 0 Posted May 27, 2003 thanks for your response. (i'm all for batch files In my case, I am the administrator..and i have no security settings enabled...shhhh ) Share this post Link to post
RedStar 0 Posted May 29, 2003 don't get me wrong here...i'm just a home user with sole access to my network. I'm behind a firewall and have a virus checker. I've never really needed a virus checker since i only download from known sources. But to be doubly safe..i do use a virus checker now...for about a year. When yu see something like this, virus is the first thing that comes to mind. But...nope. As i say...i've had some interesting install problems before..but never like these last 2 games. Usually i can just by pass the auto install and run setup AND make sure i'm using the lowest drive letter. So it wasn't a big deal. But this...spawning is above and beyond acceptable. No troubles with XP on this score. Share this post Link to post
