Why i cant install game.
Please help me.

hey, i'm having a strange problem... i can't even install the game >< ... I run startup.exe thru loader.exe, and the startup program loads, but when i say to install the game, without starting, it just gives me 2 errors... 1) a computer maintenance profile hasn't been created, and 2) the vid card drivers need to be updated. Both error screens give me two options: Run and Don't Run.

Is there a way to bypass the system-check before install? or can i manually copy the files to their respective directories to install the game? or anything that i can do? I'm not hasty to install updated drivers for the vid card... the last time i tried it, it wiped out an important system file, and i had to reformat ; ;...

Mobo: ASUS A8N-SLI

Hello :-)

Same thing for me :-/ I can get to the installation screen, where I choose customized install but after I clicked "Continue" the screen just disappears and thats it.

Yesterday I´ve had the same error-messages as the guy above, but today nothing happens.

Any advise?

My system:
AMD XP3200+
2GB RAM
Windows XP w/ DX9.0c (latest version)
GF 7800GS, AGP (latest driver from NVidia 94.24 or something)

i have the same GPU and the same problem! the installation is fine until i click continue and it pops up with this problem... i, also, have had issues with this driver. i thought it might have something to do with the driver not being compatible with windows vista, but thought again why other people could get it to work on XP while i couldn't.
Samoth has another nvidia 7 series gpu (same drivers) with this problem. someone please address this issue!!
