[Drizit]

I have just upgraded my PC and its a complete new system.

The issue I am having is that I cant load my game WAW.....  I am running windows 10 64 bit so is there anything I need to do in order for this to load?

If you need nay more info just ask and I will get it

Thanking you all in advance

Needless to say I still have my old pc would it be just as easy to back up my whole world at war folder and install it that way?

Drizit,

Hey You have to do this..     Install  WAW on to windows 10 like a new install.

Then copy over your old install directory over the new one.

 Run the game.  so it can load up your player profile to the WAW directory.  Exit the game.

Now goto the hidden location where your game Data is stored.  Copy all of that, and plaste it over the new New install Appdata location. 

Since windows 10 is a bit diffrent, be sure your placing  it in the correct location.

DON'T Delete your old pc install..  if this doesn't work, which it should if you get everything back in the right locations,  you want to be able to

do it again if needed..   Research out where the Player Data goes in windows 10.  

~your PaL,

Do all the updates before you start copying your data over..

If I think if anything else Ill msg ya.

The game itself won't load... starts then just hangs there... tried another game  call of duty 4 and it's the same

Did you install with a dvd or steam?

Hi Drizit, I run 7 but remember someone mentioning this in a previous thread :-

Most software created for previous versions of Windows run well in Windows 10, but you might have some older apps that don't work well or even at all with the new operating system. You can try to fix any issues you have running these older desktop programs in Windows 10 by changing their compatibility mode settings.

Windows has a built-in tool called Program Compatibility Troubleshooter that could automatically fix any compatibility problems for you. If the troubleshooter can't fix the problem, you can manually make an app run in compatibility mode, which will run the app using the settings from an earlier version of Windows. You can have the troubleshooter automatically search for apps that could have issues in Windows 10 or manually run the troubleshooter on a specific app.

That's a Good Point RobMc..   I didn't think of that...

Sometimes, Opening up the DvD Rom drive, and viewing the contents,

Right Clicking on the Install, or Setup.exe file, and Running as Administrator helps also.

Its looking like my disc is damaged and that seems like its the issue.... Does any one have a link to download a copy?

 

Update.....

It was a corrupted disc so I just download a new game from Steam and all good.

Thank you for all your help
