Platinum Member Username: BestmankindSOUND SPLINTER RL-S ON... Post Number: 14848 Registered: Oct-05 | its a software phil. its a game. when i first got the game, i installed it and it was fine for a couple of days. then all of a sudden it was asking for the cd even though the cd was in the drive. so i uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. it worked fine like that. then one day it asked for the cd again so i reinstalled the game and it worked. now after i reinstall the game, it asks for the cd from the beginning. i can't play it. damn. so i was wondering if i reinstalled my windows xp, it would fix that. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 298 Registered: Sep-06 | Chad, Don't reinstall XP if ya don't have to otherwise you'll be re-installing your whole d@mn system ( Programs/Software ). What you can do rather than re-installing xp is use ther XP OS disk to REPAIR XP. So, when you put the disk in the drive and boot up, it will ask if you want to: Reformat/Install XP or Repair XP If you reformat and install everything on your HD gets wiped and you loss all your programs, software and any sh!t you downloaded and saved. Option 2 - Windows Restore OPen this program from the programs/ accessories /system tools / system restore. What this will do is restore you system back to the point where sh!t didn't get fucked up, try this first to see if that fixes your problem. As for the game, some games do and don't require the CD to play, unless, you updated the game afterwards with an update and that update version may or may not require for the CD to be in the drive to play it. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 300 Registered: Sep-06 | Well, to be honest, it doesn't hurt to reformat and install only because doing so wipes out all the crap files that on the HD that the programs uninstaller did remove or Add/Remove Programs didn't remove all the install files of that program. The smart money is ( and this only applies if you have more than one HD ) partition that second HD and just have a second copy of the OS on it and back it up to the Primary Boot HD and re-install all the software. |

Post Number: 4373 Registered: Jul-06 | Hey Chad,long time no talk  I've been out way too much lately and my internet has been down for 4 days(I'm at my cousin's house) but it's best for you to completely wipe your whole PC and start fresh and that thing will run like a champ and if you still have the same problems I'll get you a NO CD Loader and that might solve the problem you're having but I hope my internet is fixed...Comcast is terrible but I have no other ISP in my area and it sucks. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 304 Registered: Sep-06 | Chad, I wouldn't use any programs to wipe the drive... period. Just put the XP OS disk in the drive and select the reformat/install option. A reformat of the HD will wipe out any and all files allowing for a clean re-install of the OS. After you do that, next thing you want to do is get your internet connection re-established and update XP thru MS update site. Next, Install a firewall then Anti-virus. Update any and all drivers your system hardware requires. Then, degrag the HD and then proceed to install your software and update those programs as well as required or you deem fit to do so. From start to finish depending on what you have to re-install and update, your looking at 4 - 5 hours tops. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 305 Registered: Sep-06 | Chad, First off, back-up anything you want to save before ya start. Your basically starting with a fresh system, once ya get the XP OS on the HD, now ya can load only what ya need software wise and not all the crap came loaded on the HD when ya bought it. Get your internet up and running, if ya use a firewall program, get that up and running, next, load whatever anti-virus you use. Updates: Any updates/programs ya have to download and install, create a folder on the desktop and sub folders for the Program/ Hardware and DL updates/files to these folders. 1st - get all the updates for the anti-virus. 2nd - get all the updates for XP Get Service packs updates 1st and install these, then get all relevant XP Security updates next and then get any/all other updates for XP. 3rd - get driver updates for your hardware 4th - install any hardware programs and test those. Once ya got all you sh!t squared away, go ahead and install the rest of your programs. After ya do all this, defrag the HD and then install any games and go from there. |

Silver Member Username: Moey_gSydneyAustralia Post Number: 133 Registered: Oct-06 | Formatting is a good idea, but if your system is stable and you only want to format because the game is not working, try getting a no cd patch. Its not illegal or anything since you have the original cd. |
