SniperRedHawk 0 Posted April 27, 2003 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted April 27, 2003 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperRedHawk 0 Posted April 27, 2003 I did uninstall Cold War b4 Resis.... So what should I do? I kept my missions folder from Res and I deleted every OFP folder other then that one.... Oh yea I cant uninstall Res cuz It is uninstalled and it is nowhere to be found....Nowhere under Add/Remove Programs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted April 27, 2003 OK if you're getting a file read error, then I have to ask does your computer's motherboard contain a VIA chipset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperRedHawk 0 Posted April 27, 2003 Umm....under the control panel only CWC shows up but im not sure about the VIA Chipsets though im pretty sure it does have it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, search The FAQ for "via". Note: there have been hosting hiccups at The FAQ all day. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperRedHawk 0 Posted April 28, 2003 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
