    installed or not?

    ok

    my computer thinks I have it installed but I dont. It's not in my start menu and I cannot find it anywhere even in add/remove programs ... hell I even searched files and folders and it's not there.

    I pop the CD in and it asks me do I want to play multi or single player ..I say yes to either and it cannot find it. I then tell it to uninstall and it then tells me "error reading setup initialzation file". I hit ok 4 times until that little window dissapears. I cannot install it because it's not an option and cannot uninstall it because it's not there. I don't want to have to reformat "again" just to play but I do want to play.

    system restore maybe? .... which caused me to have to reformat 2 weeks ago in which I found out I had a non bootable HD .... I could read the HD but I could not boot up from it, so I just got another one (250 gig) and things are fine but not fine again.


    any ideas?

    One very quick thing you can try that has solved the problem for some people...with the disc in your drive, use My Computer to navigate and open up the drive. Find the setup.exe file, and try to run it directly from there by double-clicking on it.
