Firstly a big thank you to all those who've tried to help. I've finaly installed it. It took near on 45 minutes but hey maybe it'll be worth the wait. I booted to safe mode, and firstly tried to install from the pc, no luck as its crashed on characters2 again. So I tried from the DVD as one last atempt and it installed :eek: See you all in game. I'll be the noob running around without a clue :D

I tied to cloned the DVD 1:1 onto the other system burnt the image and copied it to mine. I have also copied the installed directory onto mine, replacing any missing dll's and no luck. Ive now managed to get hold of an 8gb card so am at this moment copying the contents of the dvd onto that (using the working system) to try and run an install from that.. EDIT - Ive also noticed that the most frerquent faliures are air.pbo or characters2.pbo

Ive tried both ways:( BI dont seem to be issuing a fix for this do they... As long as the £££ keeps rolling in they couldn't give a crap. Well this will be the last BI product I'll be buying and thats for sure.

I've since tried by copying the files onto the sons pc and then burning them and copying them over to mine. Still no luck. Im going to have another crack at the network installation and find a way around it.

Thank's I'll give it a go. Just need to get hold of a big enough USB pen :o Its stupid that they release these games that obviously have massive problems. I did try and network install it but it keeps telling me I have no space on mine :mad: even though there is.. Maybe its just a security thing on the dvd itself!
