This is a BIG PROBLEM and requires ATTENTION NOW.

This is a BIG PROBLEM and requires ATTENTION NOW.
I can't install CMBB on my new Vista machine. The installer disk just will not be read by the new machine and seizes everything up. I have managed to install CMAK, but the text boxes are whited out and hard to make out, otherwise it is ok.

I have the radeon ATI HD 2600 XT video card.

Does this mean I am hooped and can't play CM on my nice new 24" video display?

If anyone knows a fix or can help, it would be appreciated.


Cheers!

Well Pete, I don't have a direct answer for you, but I did find this link in the signature block of someone whose knowledge of such things I respect. Maybe you can get a quick response here:

Have you enabled Administrator rights for yourself. Try installing as an administrator. That may help.

I can't even get my dog to sit. Never mind a computer to obey me. If you have some time, please provide a few more specific details. It would be extremely appreciated.

SG: I'll try that link.

Ta.

Try right clicking on the installer and selecting 'Run as Admin'.

Thanks to all that helped. I may have a workable solution.

Now, I need to know where all the good Pr0n sites are. You guys are all nerdy wargamers, so I expect that you'll email me a goldmine of great links.

j/k

(Not about the nerdiness though... I already have good links)

; )

Cheers!

The Radeon ATI cards are known for the whiteout bug... I got the mods from CMMODS and have them if anyone else needs them.

I had to install CMBB on another computer and then move over to my new computer. Still working on that.

Cheers!
