  • CTP won't install! (no, I'm not a newbie! :) ) Help anyone?

    Okay, I've tried to install CTP on my new computer about 59762563 times now, and still no success.

    After between 5 and 20 % of the files have been copied, one or more of the following things happen:

    - The screen goes blank.
    - "Setup has screwed up completely, and will be exterminated".
    - The computer locks up completely (with the sound stuttering horribly).
    - The computer reboots!

    Anyone know what is going on, and more importantly: How to fix it? Then PLEASE help me!

    My system is:

    Athlon 1200 MHz
    256 MB RAM
    Geforce 2 GTS
    Windows 98
    Dx8

    Thanks for any help...

    Phew! Never mind

    After many hours (yeah, it is raing outside! ), I finally got it working again! It turned out that it was not a CTP-specific problem, as I (rather by accident) found that I had problems installing another game too. For a while I thought it was a graphics-card problem (and thus tried numerous settings and drivers), but it turned out that it was in fact a CD-ROM problem. I tried different settings, and finally found that disabling DMA (whatever that does...), decreased the speed of the file-copying very much, but also somehow got rid of the crashes! So I'm up and running again!

    Thanks for all your help - LOL!
