My friend is trying to reinstall Crysis wars on his PC (windows xp) and everytime he puts the disc in he gets about 5-10 seconds of wait time then a "Fatal Error" message pops up. There is no error code or reason its saying why there is a fatal error. Have any of you come across this before? Im out of ideas on what to do with it. ( We have tried re installing multiple times and tried copying over files straight from disc), Thanks:: Pyro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Almost sounds like a memory problem. Have him run memtest....http://www.memtest.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Is it possible that the disc has a limit on how many times it can be reinstalled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

(with Service Pack 3?) Did he play the game before on this PC? I couldn't find any information with google. Only some "fatal errors" regarding Far Cry or Microsfoft .NET Framework 4.0.Maybe the Microsoft Installer (MSI) is damaged.

I belive its Service pack 2 of XP, He got the computer about 5 years ago. There is no blue screen occuring either. He told me that he went through the Registry and deleted all the crysis wars files. Could that be whats causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If the disk is corrupt, try this: http://www.gamershell.com/download_43204.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Everything is working smooth now and he has crysis wars back on his PC, Thanks for the replies guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
