Installation Problems

Hi,

I cannot install the game. Or to be more precise, install it in a way that it is playable. Bought the software-download version. When I install it, the game is at version is at 1.0. Upon start I finally, after the two movies and the splash screen (the one with the burning battleships and the planes with the red bar beyond them) I get into a menu which, in hardly readable print, offers me "Exit to Windows" as only option. On the right of it runs a movie with misc. Jap ships, the lower half of the screen is black.

When I patch the game to 1.4 it freezes after the aforementioned splash screen. The screen is just pitch black.

I did uninstall and re-install as adviced here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133290

However, strange thing is I don't have that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall{{0D005F09-A5F4-473B-A901-5735C6AF5628} key in my registry, just the Ubisoft folder, which I deleted each time. The game does not ask for the unblock key though, it did only during the very first install. I figure this info must still be in the registry despite my deleting the Ubisoft folder.(?)

My sys specs:

Dual core 3.6GhZ
1GB RAM
WinXP
RADEON X600 Pro

Help very much appreciated.

Thx,

askalex
