Has the wife won at last???

Post by wobbly »

So, I've been reading a few posts on the forum, a few AARs and so I figure, what the hey, I'll take out WitP and load her up again.

How do you say 'cyclic redundancy check' without adding an expletive at the end?

This was a download copy that has long since passed out of download ability.

I legitimately own a copy, and while I have not been on the boards as prodigiously as I used to, I used to be a reasonably active member of the forum.

Is there any way to get another copy that wont make the copyright gods angry?

There is a way, iirc... it involves finding your original order number and contacting Matrix and/or Digital River... i think you also need your original credit card (or at least its number).

The issue is that I have moved house. I have changed banks, and I have changed email addresses!!! Talk about try my very best to make sure I can't play it again!
 
I'll try and get CD cleaners on the job but it is only a copy so I don't hold out much hope with that avenue.

i suppose you could always buy it again... i take it from your comments that your CD damaged/dirty? There are repair kits available (Optifix, and others) that might be able to restore a damaged CD.

If you insist on just burning your own copy, try something like http://dvdisaster.net/en/

Wobbly still had his serial number written down so when he found a copy he was good to go.

Yes, thankfully operation "pull your finger out" managed to sort things. With some valuable help from members on the forum I managed to get the old beast working again.
 
Thanks to all those concerned - I am very grateful (the wife is not so much - but then I'm a "stay at home dad" now and she had knitting...)

I have the same problem, I saved the install program to a cd, but it is corrupted. How did
you resolve your problem Wobbly?

Never mind, fixed the problem. Put the save disc in the drive of another computer
on my network and read the setup program with no problem. Just a matter of transferring
the file to the new computer and, voila, WITP installed!
