Thanks Jens. I had noticed AVG popping up far too frequently so I think it's time to go. I'll have a look at Avira.AVG used to be the best software out there - until a group of rogue sales people got their hand on it that is...
The last two years they've ruined AVG with popups and harassment instead of updating the software and we all left the sinking ship!
The best one out there today I've found to be Avira.
I've worked with computer security for most of my life so I kinda know what to look for with these programs and Avira was a worthy successor
Ah right, you're not going to like this. It's a Dell inspiron with a Nvidia Geforce GT 625. I know it's old, but annoyingly, the game loads, runs through the introduction video, and nearly launches, with the progress bar stopping just before the end. And that's it, then it's Alt tab to shut it down. I had hoped, if the system wasn't up to it, it would have stopped me installing it.
That's not an easy one to answer. I'm now installing it to a different computer (brand new from Santa - with AVG), via 6 CD's (brand new - not copies or anything dodgy) and it has taken nearly all day. How ? Steam is involved as I had to resurrect an old account for it to load, and the game seems to want to launch via steam. Does that make any sense ?
No wonder youre having problems colin , i mean how old is your computer if it runs on steam !!!:tongue-out3:
I'd be very surprised if you'll get the game to even start on that graphics card because it's not powerful enough.
Yes that's sort of the problem. An old machine. But I did uninstall AVG and installed Avira, and yes, the game did run, but badly, the graphics card was maxed out at 100%. But, not to worry, even though it took a day to install on the new machine, it runs great, even with AVG ? It's a funny old world.
You are spot on old chap. The game works fine on the new computer (with AVG) but not the old one. I knew I was pushing my luck with the old computer.
