Ey,
My home is far, far from broadband. We have HALF normal diallup speed (MAX 28.8k) So, wanting this game i stupidly(?)
bought and downloaded it while in the city at a net cafe. Stardock automatically installed it at the cafe. I first copied the files to a cd, then just to be sure, archived the files using stardock, then uninstalled and deleted the files at the cafe.
Now, home (200km roundtrip from the nearest good connection) I copy the archived files to my pc, try running the game, get
the install option and it says "Please run setup.exe from your cd". What setup? I don't have a setup file, or a cd as such.
So, i reinstall stardock (takes over an hour to download) and try restoring my archive. Nope. It just says error.
The closest i got was a note saying i needed the latest directx. Downloaded that (6 Hours for 52meg) and back to Error.
Other messages i've got in the long list include being told that my sn doesn't match. I'm guessing it tied it'self to that cafe PC.
What can i do to fix this? I'm on both a slow connection and solar power. There's no possible way i can leave my PC running
for the WEEK or so it would take to redownload the full game.
My pc specs are: Intel P4 2.4 Ghz. 1GB ram. Geforce4 MX440.
All drivers are latest as of this week.
I'm not getting hardware related issues here, it's all down to either stardock or my serial number. Please help!
