Red Hammer v1.30 all gone tits up

[theavonlady 2]

I'm curious. Several of you have resolved the problem by uninstalling CloneCD or possibly other burner software.

On the other hand, MaxDamage has manage to resolve the problem by installing CloneCD. (Maybe that's why he's called MaxDamage ).

Now, again, don't you find it strange that OFP is referencing anything to do with the CD after mission completion?

So here's a question to those of you that still have the problem or that refuse to uninstall or install burner software: If you remove the CD after OFP starts up, does the problem still occur?

Just to chime in uninstalling CloneCD seems to help. I uninstalled, and then re-installed OFP 1.3 and was able to progress. As soon as I re-installed CloneCD, everything went back to ####.

What I want to know is why is there a conflict with CloneCd and OFP?

[theavonlady 2]

According to MaxDamage, CloneCD adds the following file to Windows:

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IoSubSys\ElbyCDIO.vxd

Now, chances are that this file somehow interferes with I/O to and/or from your CDRW drive.

My previous question still remains: what connection is there between mission completion and CD I/O and would the problem be resolved if OFP's CD was removed from the drive beforehand, without uninstalling CloneCD?

I think Clone-CD is only a part of the problem... I've experienced that some remaining registry entries after uninstalling OPF infact do compromise the reinstallation of OPF. I had to face this problem for several times until I MANUALLY (NO AUTOMATIC MODE!!) removed all entries from Codemasters in Windows-registry (via freeware "regcleaner v4.3" - just search the internet, available almost everywhere), restarted and then setup & upgrading worked fine! Just try it... Hope it helpes you

Sorry Avonlady, when I said startup I meant installation.

And to everyone for whom ofp now works enjoy playing.

hes right. Clonecd screws it up; I noticed this right after I bought the full version. I wish I read this thread earlier, cause I "fixed" the problem by reinstalling windows..*sigh*..and whats worse, is now I cant select 4 channel analog "surround sound" for my fortissimo sound card. I think my computer hates me

Just to update. CloneCD works fine with the other versions of OFP, just not 1.30. I'm using CloneCD 3.2.2.1 licensed US version. I hope BIS releases a patch soon.

Someone bloody well better release a patch, and soon too. Having emailed this prob to CM, I eventually got a reply of do this, try that blah blah. Needless to say it doont work. I rely on CCD to quickly backup my data, as nero is a bit of a pain. Having to live without CCD is... unmentionable.

I'll probably find I can't print either until I remove Gold

This lady has done more for helping a gaming community then most. Her FAQ are well written, detailed and updated. I think she kicks **s... period.

So keep your jealous, snot-nosed, 12yo opinions to yourself.

Well, maybe I did kick Gus a few times back in 2nd grade but he pulled my braids first!

Sorry Lady, I didn´t want do insult you.

The biggest problem I see is that BIS needs to fix their friggin product! I don't know of any other game out now or that I can remember with this much problems with CD issues.

As I hate to bring myself to someone's level to get a point across I felt in this situation it worked adequately

Sorry if I was too harsh, but having a new member(8 posts) bash the Avon Lady is unforgivable

Peace?
