OK, Fresh Install of CFS3

 

Patched to 3.1

 

install OFF

Install OFF Superpatch

Install OFF mini patch

 

Run Desktop Icon

 

CDBurnerXP Pro 3.msi comes up, looking for Use Source 1.

 

What gives?

 

It is LEGIT pressed disk. It is dated 2002. I had to upgrade it via the patch to 3.1 which I did. It is an original MS Games Studios disk.

 

CFS3 loads and plays fine, but OFF gives me this weird message of wanting CDBurnerXP Pro 3.msi in source 1. So, out of desperation, I placed disk 1 in the drive (if I recall correctly, disk 2 is used to play CFS3), but with the same results.

You did right to here. What you may have done ( you don't say), and what you HAVE to do at this point, is fly a mission for a few seconds- any mission for just a short while. ( Running this CFS3 mission will put some necessary files in the registry which OFF uses when you install OFF )

Then you exit the mission and install OFF

As this is an original 2 disc CFS3, not a Later DVD version, it is my understanding that you will always need to have the disc in the drive to play CFS3 and OFF!

(That's why your comment about "in desparation putting in the disc etc " confuses me ?? )

 

Can't help re the burner thing, I'm afraid

Well, in the 2 cd set, you use cd1 to load CFS3, but since it was asking for source 1, I thought try disk one.:idea:

 

At any rate, after a night of tinkering with the grease monkeys in the hanger, I got this thing to run LOL. I removed the CDBurner program (its a freebie anyway and there is a new version), read a little on multiple forums for clues, took care of CFS3 stutter,and finally got to leave mother earth behind :clapping:
