okay, when you start up ja, what is the date stated in the console? is it august 5 or some other dates?

[primuss]

you mean the game launcher screen?

if so there is no date there.

Is windows seeing the drive? Is the drive seeing the disc?

Sorry to hear you can't get the game to work. I know of a few other people who have had the same problem, and I've yet to see a reliable solution posted. Someone suggested that certain CD-ROM drives may have problems reading the disks - so could you post your CD-ROM drive make and model, just in case?

 

Have you tried bypassing the main menu, and running jasp.exe or jamp.exe directly?

 

If you can't get the game to work at all, you would be better off contacting Lucasarts Technical Support, and give them a detailed run-down of the problem. As I said, you're not the first to report this problem, and perhaps by now they have found a solution. If they have, and can help you, we'd appreciate it if you post their feedback in this forum.

 

Good luck.
