Problems with resistance

Recommended Posts

I am having this problem installing my Operation Flashpoint: Resistance. After I install Cold war Crisis and Red Hammer, I go to install Resistance and I get a message that Resistance is already installed on my Computer yet I have uninstalled it already. I get this message: "Operation Flashpoint Resistance already installed. Would you like to reinstallt he game?"

I click ok and proceed. After it starts installing itself it gets close to being done and I get ANOTHER message: "File read error: E:\FlashpointResistance\Res\Dta\Data3D.pbo" and then the installation cancels. Are there any solutions to this problem? I have reinstalled all my Flashpoint games at least 4 times. Please help me. Thank you.

My Operating System:

Compaq

Intel Pentium 3 1.0Ghz

256 RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX440 PCI

Ugh! Could it be that during one of your uninstall episodes you uninstalled OFP Cold War Crisis before Resistance?

What about now? Can you uninstall Resistance first from Windows Control Panel before uninstalling OFP Cold War Crisis?

If so, then after you do that, delete any residual OFP directories and files, other than those you may want to backup (like missions and addons).

That was a mistake! What shows now under Windows Control Panel? OFPCWC, Resistance or both? If only Resistance, try uninstalling it via Control Panel.

After you've uninstalled, move your addons/mission folders elsewhere and then start reinstalling from scratch.

OK if you're getting a file read error, then I have to ask does your computer's motherboard contain a VIA chipset?

First, uninstall CWC.

Second, search The FAQ for "via".

Note: there have been hosting hiccups at The FAQ all day. Sorry. sad.gif

Ok. I went into your website and searched for VIA and it said I needed the 4-in-1 chipsets which I dowloaded yet it didn't solve my problem.....I'm running out of ideas here and Codemasters nor BIS wrote me back about my problem....I am now sitting here beating my head of my desk....this is frustrating
