Ha ha, you funny lady, ha ha.
At the moment, MichaelG of EA support, and I are in email WWF.
That was my first question after making sure it was the disk faulty.
The reply was, had I tried installing again? Had I tried installing to a different machine to test the disks? Had I this, had I that?
Maybe it is the second-hand, ex-government Intel Pentium chipped machine. I've never had an Intel machine before. My first computer, a 286, was a genuine IBM chip, with 80287 math co-proccessor. And I ran DOS 6.22 and Windows 3 on that old girl. The 486 and 586 were Cyrix or IBM Blue Lightning chips, and I have used AMD "64 bit" CPU's, and Nvidea graphics exclusively, for many years for Linux.
Maybe I'm holding my mouth wrong, for Intel to work right?
Or it could actually be something crusty in this, this, this, I'm lost for words to describe this, Acer version of Winslows. It's gunky Charlie Brown, it's gunky.
How gunky you ask? My Acer AMD Sempron laptop at 1.8 Ghz, with Mandriva as the only operating system, out paced my AMD Athlon 2.8 Ghz machine on Windows.
Worst case? $90 Aust for a new base game set.
With a Bonus FFS pack if you please.
