ok have yay installed the update 1.01 or something from the lucas arts site and have you set up the compatibilty mode,

 

right click on the exe, properties, compatibilty, then change the it windows nt service pack, shoudl work alot better

[Granville]

yeah i have done both of those.

 

Ive installed it on me laptop and my bros PC, they are all what i believe to be fairly standard XP builds. Tis very frustrating!

.... Hmmm try ask Mask ....maybe is cose of the laptop components ?!....it should work on XP....btw that is why I have win'98 on my PC.....so I can play SWR

Hi, tell me: did you try some models, that refer to the same texture ?

That's the only thing, despite of a faulty graphic-card driver, that can make the game crash.

[Granville]

ive tried it on 4 diffo PC's which have 4 diffo gfx cards, Ive only done standard installs and tried with the patch and without.

 

Im thinking the only thing the same is my CD, its pretty old, wonder if its knackered, ive got a new 1 on the way.

yeah my CD is getting old also....starts to have problems .... gut to burn it with nero one day

You can also create an image of your Rebellion cd. Then run Daemon Tools with it and install the game from this virtual drive. It handles like a cd and your original doesn't get strained anymore

well ive found that i cant copy the mdata folder off the CD that could explain it

[Granville]

bah ok so its just 1 file that wont copy! a 3mb file holding me back from playing this game!!!!!

Try shutting the music off, that's what is in the MDATA folder...

[the_mask]

Which one is it ? If it's above .102, then it's a music file. Up to this point are the movies. You can copy one of the other (fitting) files into the folder and name it like the one you lost. Of course you'll have one double, but you'll be able to play again

.... btw Mask i can load the Nero image in a virtual drive but the stupid RebEd wont see it

[the_mask]

What would you use the cd with RebEd for, except for the partial installer ?

Try making a CloneCD, or ISO image and open that with Daemon Tools, I'm only running this, cause I know it works

[Trejiuvanat]

I used to run that but it wound up doing something to the configuration of my CD-RW/DVD Drive... (I couldn't watch DVDs anymore)...

[the_mask]

Never heard of that effect before.

 

Are you running something "below" 2k, or XP ? Do you have the Aspi drivers installed ?

[Trejiuvanat]

XP SP2, all drivers uptodate...

 

I stopped using it anyway, the Images wound up consuming too much diskspace anyway...
