Howdy,
I'm new to the boards and everything, and hopefully if I'm able to fix my Flashpoint, I might be able to stick around. Anyway, onto the problem:
I acquired some time ago GOTY and since a couple of friends and I are going to give OFPRP a try, I needed to install onto my laptop. My laptop meets all the requirements to play.
So I put in the discs and for the first two, and everything is going normally. Except when I get to the third disc, I hit a wall. The third disc actually deletes files and then tells me that there was a problem with setup.
I'm at a loss of words as to why it screwed up like this and I'm on the verge of purchasing a new copy - I just want to see if there's any way to fix this.
Now, I did install it myself; I installed the first two discs, moved the files to desktop, then cancelled installation. Everything was set, and the game started to play. I saw 'Codemasters', then a box pops up saying 'Bad serial key at setup'. So, if there's any way to put in the CD key without engaging in setup, that'd be great.
I contacted tech support and they told me to update the firmware for my CD drive or something. Turns out my CD drive was made by a company that makes terminals 'n stuff.
So, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
