for what i understood of it ive already done all of that. compatibilirty mode, admin mode. i cant even get the setup.exe to run automatically. like i said b4(this time ill be less vague). i put in the cd, it says autorun so i say ok. nothing happens, so i go into the cd and run the setup manually. then the installation goes normall like it is suppose to but VERY SLOWY(VERY). after i got it done, i installed the mods and patches(not gonna play w/o any kind of reconstruction mod cause ive beaten the game already and want it for the deleted content, but i dont believe that the mods would do the problem), then i quit for the night(i know, "sleep, disgusting habbit", then i got to play and it says something like game is not installed, install properly. like i said b4 it wouldnt be so bad if it didnt take like 2 days to install. besides thati ahve no problems i cant solve, so if you have any solutions id be VERY gratefull.
