Nightkill Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Ok, as follows. I used to play a lot of jk2, but I stopped playing. Now, I want to visit my clan sometimes, but my jk2 disk seems to be scratched. It stucks at 64% with the install. Now, I got a good jk2 disk from my friend, threw this jk2 off... but as soon as I fired up the install of that disk, it asked me if I was sure that jk2 was uninstalled completely. So I clicked yes.. after a while, it finished, I try to setup again, and again.. asks me to uninstall.. I've just formatted my hard drive a few weeks ago, and am not planning to do so again... any more ppl with this problem that can help me? would be appreciated.. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Clean your disc and try again. Also consider making a clone of your cleaned disc. Typically people will start complaining of problems when their bootlegged/warzed copy of the game isn't working, which is not the fault of lucasarts, but rather the pirates. But if you honestly want help, take my advice. If it's too scratched that even a cleaning can't help, then consider buying yourself a new copy. The game is very cheap and well worth it. You might also try a registry cleaner to make sure the game is really fully uninstalled before you reinstall (I use Registry Mechanic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 also, the local cd shops usually buff cd's for nominal fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkill Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 look guys, i'm not sure you've understood my problem. The problem is: when I insert the CD, at the game setup, it keeps asking me to uninstall. Even with an other jk2 cd, it gives me the same message.

acdcfanbill Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 oh well goto My Computer and navigate to your CD ROM drive with the cd, right click on it and select open from the menu, you should then be able to see the files on the CD. select setup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceplant Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 OK, let me get this straight. According to your first post, you installed the game from the disc from your friend, then tried to install it again? The first question that comes to mind is why?

ZeroX2 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Did you try Kurgan's suggestion - cleaning up the registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Actually I get the impression that when he inserted the disc to PLAY, it prompted him to uininstall (using the auto run program). That's pretty weird. It makes me think the first install was somehow corrupted. You could try just cancelling and running the exe directly from the game directory (not the auto run cd). But it may just not work. Try uinstalling and reinstalling. But I suspect the problem may go deeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melord Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I had this happen recently on my buddies computer over here, just make sure you erase every little bit of it and even take off restore when you restart your computer. Besides obviously cleaning your registry, physicaly erase the Lucas Arts folder off of your harddrive. A config probably is probably being left and I know that when this happened to me this worked. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
