trouble with win 2k
Recently I just installed win2k and I am having problems installing the game. I cant do the autorun becuase it stops when it tries to install the directx. I cant to _issetup becuase for some reason it needs the drivers on the cs and wont detect the newer drivers(not sure about that last part). You some reply telling me how I should go about this.<P>Dan

Re: trouble with win 2k
Look quite a ways back in this topic about the problem.<P>Basically, there is a registry setting that you need to add that will allow it to work.<P>Let me get the info for you...<P>Okay, found it - search your registry for progra~1\efs if you installed EFS in \Program Files\efs. Once you find this area, add a key called "CDROM" of type REG_SZ and set it to the drive letter of your CD-ROM (i.e. D:\).<P>You'll then be good to go.<P>Good luck!<P>Matt

Re: trouble with win 2k
Ok Im going to need a bit more help then that please. When i try to create a new key it always makes a folder under where I want to put the key. Also i can not rename the name of the key. Could you please tell me how to do these things. The only thing I ever used was to change cd-key already in the registry.<P>Dan

Re: trouble with win 2k
Oh yeah I forgot about that, when I first found the problem I wrote a little note about it, obviously that only works if I go check the note <P>Here's the contents of my note file:<BR>"Find the registry key:<BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HDI/Emperor of the Fading Suns/1.0<P>and create a new String value called CDROM with data value "<CDDRIVE>" where <CDDRIVE> is the drive you installed it from (or want it to play music from).<BR>E.g: "E:\" "<P>More direct instructions:<BR>Go to that registry location, on the right hand window right click and under the 'new' option pick "String Value" and then type in:<P>CDROM<P>Once thats done double click on the CDROM value you just made and enter the letter of your CD drive in quotes, so if it's drive D enter:<P>"D:\"<P>You could probably point it anywhere, the game is likely to just check for its existance, get the value and see if there is a CD with audio tracks in that drive.<P>After that it should work, if you have troubles I can export the registry key for EFS and put it on the web.<P>And BTW - The fault of this is the actual game installer, not the DirectX installer, I have no idea why it doesn't create the key under Win2k.<P>Cya,<BR>Deathifier
