:hmm: so if you are running other games/programs you do not have an issue.

You are running the correct version of the patch - 1.4b DVD USA. BTW you never mentioned if this is a USA disk - I am guessing it is.

All drivers are updated - Nvidia, Sound, CD/DVD and Chipset

You allowing StarForce to complete its disk check.

Also have you run the dxdiag?

Also I assume you using XP OS and DX9?

Also by chance you using something like Nero or other CD/DVD burning software? - I have heard of interface troubles with those programs in some cases....

Then:

Might be issue with patch download itself corrupted and or install of orignal game.

Have you uninstalled the game then tried just to run the unpatched version?

Nvidia again not my speciality for drivers and types. I run a ATi card and using Audigy 2zs sound.

But if you tried everything in the stickies related then issue sure sounds like it goes back to the disk and or the patch in use - especially if you have not other troubles with other games/programs.

If thus trouble starts with disk and you are allowing the complete install of the disk then it must be the disk if no other game has trouble.

Outside chance that beyond a bad patch download or corrupt install - the disk itself is bad - but I doubt that since you could not install if it were.

Running short of options other than you contacting UBi directly by phone or email with the program/PC in front of you.

My regrets but I am not a Tech guy by profession - this one is very strange since in the stickies the problem you describe is addressed and resolved.

Again if all components are good, no other program complaints then it has to be the disk itself and or the patch - I say uninstall completely, reinstall only the disk version of game w/o patch and try it again no patch just the straight game. BTW you have Quicktime installed right?

Again full install game only and try it, if you had no troubles with any other games or programs before this disk - it comes back to the disk.

I am confident if you desire UBi or the vendor would replace the disk.

Should it fail again contact UBi directly from their website:

Sorry this answer but it about all I can think of unless we can get someone like the Avon Lady or Onkel Neal or Berry or other of the masters here to respond.
