I have reinstalled, cleaned the registry and updated DirectX and every possible driver(I think). During uninstall I get the missing string error(that some others have mentioned) and everything just deletes. There is nothing to remain to delete after the error in unistall.
The game itself doesn't give me a error message, it just freezes and the whole computer refuses to work(I have to boot manually). My game is a legit copy, ordered from UK(English version) so I shouldn't have any securom issues? I have correctly typed my cd-key so that shouldn't mess anything up( I think otherwise it would give an error message).
During the install I have antivirus softwares and firewall disables along the Vista's UAC. I have vista home premium 64bit. The patch installs itself without a problem but the game doesn't run patched or unpatched. I have tried patching to 1.02 without starting the game in 1,01 aswell.
The rest of my system is:
Core2duo E8400 3,0 Ghz
Ati Radeon HD4870
2*2gigs Kingston 800mhz DDR2
Asus P5Q PRO motherboard
I am frustrated with this as I am not usually having any problems with games( it is hard to act as you don't get any feedback). I have been running different checks and my system seems perfectly stable. I just defragged my harddrive and the other games are not having any problems. Thanks in advance from any help received.
Incase you want me to submit more information, let me know. I decided to make a new topic, as my problem differs slightly from the existing ones and some of them been solved by the patching.
Edit: I don't have any unnecessary programs running while starting/installing and I don't have any virtual drive software installed(like PowerISO)
