I'm a retard. I was using the walmart version. For some stupid reason I left the walmart version in its case and left the gold version in another case. gahh well thanks for all your help.
Well I tried all that except for the defrag and I still get the same problem. I even ran Norton Disk Doctor. Anyone else have any clues as to what is wrong?
I just downloaded the patch from Stratagey first's website. When I try to install it it says "C:...systemMessageSystem.dll is not a valid previous version and could not be upgraded."
I have done a full uninstall and reinstall twice and i get the same message each time. What is wrong?
