Jimko 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Hi all, I have the Ubisoft CFS3 DVD which I have used for OFF with no problems in the past. The reason for the DVD is so that I don't have to use the disc each time I run OFF. I just wiped my system clean, formatted the HDs, etc., as I was having a lot of crashes, blue screens and "corrupt system config file" messages as well as some strange multiple os occurences. I'm just reinstalling all my apps with no problems EXCEPT when I now install CFS3 from the Ubi DVD; I can't run the sim without the disc as I keep getting the "No disc in drive" message and it won't load the game until the DVD is in the drive. Yet this same DVD has always installed and CFS3 ran without it, before, as it should. So I haven't installed OFF P3 again since I can't even get CFS3 to run without the DVD. I have uninstalled CFS3 and reinstalled with the same results. Am I forgetting something...?? Am I having a senior moment? Puzzled, me... Suggestions...

Parky 8 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Don't install CFS3 (unless you want it installed for something other than BHH). Start from scratch with the BHH DVD, and you should have the option to extract the necessary CFS3 files from the CFS3 DVD during the installation process.

Parky, you have really made me sit up in amazement... I thought that CFS3 HAD to be installed FIRST for proper operation of OFF...?? You mean I can install OFF P3 first and then run the CFS3 DVD when prompted to extract the files that are required? I can try that, but I still wonder why I can't run CFS3 without the DVD in the drive...not that I care about CFS3, that's for sure! However, neither do I want to have to run with a DVD when I didn't have to before. Edited March 30, 2009 by Jimko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parky 8 Posted March 30, 2009 If that is in fact a Ubisoft DVD you have there, you don't have to install CFS3 first. Shouldn't need the DVD in the drive to play either. Just double-checked the FAQ for you. Install BHH and it should prompt you for your CFS3 DVD when required. Cheers, Parky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't even look at the FAQ for the install, as originally I had installed CFS3 before OFF (which I thought was correct procedure), and since everything ran as expected, I didn't even think to look closely at the install procedure this time. I'm just leaving for a couple of days so although I can still check the forum, the re-install will have to wait untill I'm home. Appreciate the help very much!
