AlanGrant Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hey guys & gals. My friend gave me a loan of his Grim Fandango CD, and being a big fan of Monkey Island I cant wait to play it. But my enthusiasm's been slammed into a brick wall. I put in Disc A, ran the installer but it stops at 47% and gives me this message: I'm not sure what to do, i've read these forums and searched Google but can't find a solution. I can't even get the game installed. After I click OK on that image, the Installer just closes and thats it. My friend is able to install it without problems so I don't know what's wrong. I run Windows XP. If anyone can help me out i'd be so greatful!!! Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenkieee Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The fact that your friend can install it properly makes it a bit weird, but.. whenever I had a cd that had too many scratches on it, which gave problems with installing, I used CloneCD to make an image of it, and then installing it. CloneCD was able to make a proper image out of an inproper CD. But the last time I did that was a year or 2 ago. It's always worth a try though.

Frenkieee Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Geez, you're quick! Can't think of anything else.. it looks like a typical error you get from scratches on the cd. But then again.. it works on your friends pc.. maybe you've got an old(er) cd-rom drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanGrant Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Not that fast this time Well my brother's into computers and he buys all kinds of hardware updates, so even though the PC itself is probably about 7 years old, the hardware's pretty up to date. Saying that, I think it should still work if GF is an older game. Well I tried that program, and I even burned the image file to a fresh CD, but I get the same error Wish it would just work!
