Technical problem

Unread postby Fewtger » 24 Jul 2008, 08:11

I have the Heroes of Might and Magic Complete edition (the nice, white box). And I'm happy with it so far.

There is just one thing, somehow I cant install HoMMV (and Hammers of Fate which is in the same CD). Every time I pop it in, my computer freezes.
At first I thought it might be CD (which is unscathed, by the way), but I borrowed the same CD form someone else (also unscathed) and the same thing happens.

Can anyone give me a clue about what happening? (and maybe a solution to fix it?)

It's probably your CD/DVD-ROM defect and can't read the disk... it happened to me once as well...

Try to read other CDs/DVDs and see if this is the problem
No matter how powerful one becomes, there is always someone stronger. That's why I'm in a constant pursuit of power, so I can be prepared when an enemy tries to take advantage of me.

You said you had a friend who has the same game, ask him to uninstall his version of HOM and then re-install using YOUR cd/dvd.. If the game installs on his computer then you know there's a chance that you have a faulty cd drive.

I don't think it's my CD-drive, because he installed HOMM3 and Tribes of the East perfectly.

Why would he need someone that has the game too?!

So no one can help me out? I thought it maybe some of my computer's settings, but I'm not that handy with computers..

I may have found something the other day, it said the most common cause is DAEMON (or something). So, I uninstalled it, but it still won't work.

But could it be I need some program for my driver or something?

Can't install game

I know this is a late post, however I couldn't help notice that Fewtger stated that he had HoF on the same CD. Wouldn't that be a DVD and wouldn't he need a CD/DVD RW/ROM. The poor guy may only have a CD ROM. LOL
