are you trying to load from the disk, or from the shortcut on screen. Also have you patched the game up to version 2.3? You need to load patch 2 first then 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 in order.
If this doesnt work ,then delete the shortcut and send the uncommonValour.exe file located in the game folder to the destop and try this

make sure to load the updates in order, first 2.0, then 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. If you load them out of order, God knows what will happen.

what steps have you taken so far?
The steps that should be taken are,
install UV from disk
Patch version 2.0
Patch version 2.1
Patch Version 2.2
Patch version 2.3
Each patch will crate there own UncommonValour.exe file (used to start the game), so just to make sure, delete the shortcut on the destop, and go into the UV folder, find the UncommonValour.exe file, and right click and send to desktop. This should work fine. If you havent patched the items in order this could be your problem, so I would suggest uninstalling and trying again

now that you have installed it, try to run it, and find out what version you have. Also you will need adobe for the manual, and as for direct x, find out what version you already have, and if the direct x is older than on the disk use the direct x from the disk

I mentioned this in the other thread. How many CD players you got? I'm suspecting a CD ROM and a CD Burner, right? One may be D drive and one E drive. Make sure your CD is in your master drive as Frank Cooke reminded me that it won't run from your slave drive. Hit PLAY and it should start "Loading Files, Sir" as opposed to remaining on the main menu page.
If that does not work, I'm out of ideas.
