Sry for the delay guys, was away for a bit. Anyhow, i uninstalled both games, removed and installed new gfx drivers, and now everything's hunky dorey - cheers for helping out tho Mike

Ok, a new day so i try starting OFP:R again and this time there's no crashes ! However i is exactly the same as how this problem started, ie running at about 1-2 FPS. I've tried numerous GFX options, completely down, same as OFP etc, no help - the intro of the game shows some info about gameplay "deteriorating" over time, i guess this kind of effect is what i'd expect. There been any other reports of genuine copy's being mistaken for illegal ?? Mike

Erm <thinking mode> Not that i know of, and besides, OFP runs fine.. BTW, ive got AMD 1900 XP, radeon 8500, windows XP, 512 RAM, SB Audigy... </thinking mode> Mike

Ok, i managed to actually get the game installed now, but it just quits back to desktop when i try loading. I appreciate why they try to put in anti hacking code into games nowadays but, if this is the cause of my probs, i paid good money for their product and i an not amused :@

Ok guys, havent played either OFP for some time now, so imagine my shock when i loaded OFP:R up the this morning to find it running at roughley 2 fps. After several reboots and checks in other games (which seemes to run fine) no luck, so i uninstalled, and tried to reinstall, but whats this ?? install gets halfway through and then just stops ?!?, arghhg , help please :O Sry for the mishmash of sentences there, just im a bit annoyed and yes they are BOTH genuine copy's (OFP original still runs fine) Mike
