The other option is right click on desktop
select New
select shortcut
this will go to an option to browse for shortcut
find the shortcut
click next next and this should put the working shortcut on the desktop

if you right click on that file and send to desktop, you will get a working icon on your desktop

This DID NOT work for me.

Marky, from the initial install could you get the game to run?

Also did the original game put a shortcut on your desktop?

From the initial install did you try to go into the UV folder and double click the UncommonValour.exe file?

If the answer is yes to the first question then I think you have a dud disk. If this is the case take it back to where you got it from and get a new one.

I hope it can help : I had a quite similar problem when i tried to install UV on another PC: I installed my 2.0 version first and tried it: that was good. Then i successivly installed and try all the patchs: 2.10: OK , 2.11: OK, 2.20 : OK but with 2.30 : NOT OK [X(] !! the game no longer worked when i tried to start it. I tried to launch the game with the shortcuts, the .exe file, but i saw nothing else that the first screen of UV. So i uninstalled everything and did it again, for the same result...[:@]

When i launched the game, I noticed that the PC tried to read on my Cdrom but it did as if it found nothing in it. i decided to install the game and patchs using my DVDrom and not my Cdrom and, miracle [&o], UV worked, even on version 2.30 !!!

The update program is called True update. That info is if you ever get it to run. I have to agree, it sounds like a bad disk to me. Wish I could help you, but I am no computer guru.

The default drive is C: if I am not mistaken.

Depends on how your computer is set up.

If you have just one hard drive and it isnt compartmentalised then you should have just one local drive to install on (C: )

D Drive is usually reserved for your CD rom or DVD (the thing you put the disk into), and if you have a second CD rom or DVD drive, then this is usually setup as E: drive.

Either way when you install, just follow the prompts and dont try to install into anything other than the default settings.

But especially as it is asking for a second disk, your disk is stuffed, no two ways around it.

Mate if you lived in Sydney, Id offer to come around and fix it myself.
