keylek3 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 good news, i have managed to sort out the hard disk error, it was being caused by the ini file in my save file, it was basiclly a very old ini file which has been passd from computer to computer may times through system reinstalls and so on, but yet that is only one problem solved so far, the game is still freezing alot, like lasting a few mins before crashing competly, if anyone can help with that, please post your suggestions -------edit: wait, he freezing has been fixed, i have been going through the ini file alot and i toggled it quite abit, it now works perfectly, but yet every so offten, but no where nea as offten the hard disk error pops up, whic makes no sence since i sorted that ou earlyer, so if anyone knows how to fix the hard disk error, you are welcome to say your suggestions, because it is about every 15 mins (exsactly nearly) so this is still something i want to get fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
